Sand Överallt [English translation]

[verse 1]

We build castles of sand and want to reach all the way to the sun

One might make it too hard for oneself

Of all I became or can do, of all I achieved

The biggest thing was still love (the biggest thing was still love)

[bridge]

Dreams come, dreams go

One is sleeping the whole life

What I was longing for was here all the time

Happiness comes, happiness goes

But the biggest thing was love after all, oh

So much you carry needlessly

[chorus]

It may flow through my hands

Sand everywhere

It comes and goes and it turns

Sand everywhere

You can't carry all that you get

Drop what you can

Some here, some there; yeah, there's still...

...Sand everywhere

[verse 2]

I see castles of sand washing away into the ocean

Most could be thrown into the sea (most could be thrown into the sea)

Like all good advice on how to be perfect here

No, well thanks, but I know what I'm doing (well thanks, but I know what I'm doing)

[bridge]

Dreams come, dreams go

One is sleeping the whole life

What I was longing for was here all the time

Happiness comes, happiness goes

But the biggest thing was love after all, oh

So much you carry needlessly

[chorus]

It may flow through my hands

Sand everywhere

It comes and goes and it turns

Sand everywhere

You can't carry all that you get

Drop what you can

Some here, some there; yeah, there's still...

...Sand everywhere

[middle-8]

I wrote my name into the sand

The ocean just washed it away

I tried to preserve it

The ocean hit and laughed at me

Happiness comes, happiness goes

But the biggest thing was love after all, oh

So much you carry needlessly

[chorus]

It may flow through my hands

Sand everywhere

It comes and goes and it turns

Sand everywhere

You can't carry all that you get

Drop what you can

Some here, some there; yeah, there's still...

...Sand everywhere

It may flow through my hands

Sand everywhere

It comes and goes and it turns

Sand everywhere

You can't carry all that you get

Drop what you can

Some here, some there; yeah, there's still...

...Sand everywhere
