Longing

how i long for better days
so i can sit and watch the waves

sit upon the amber sand,
meanwhile i hold your hand

staring out across the sea
this is where i wish to be

'cause every time I think of you
this is what i’d want to do

every second of everyday 
my mind just wanders away

to this picture in my head
im always thinking of you instead 

of the work i should be doing 
and still i sit here gluing

the pieces of my heart together
i thought we were forever

how i longed for better days
so i could just watch the waves

sat upon the amber sand
we’re no longer hand in hand
