Sand In Your Shoes Lyrics
Well, I couldn't stand to be in that place
I was just about to leave
When I saw your face
You were laughing at me
With your beautiful mouth
You said, "You're looking miserable
Do you wanna get out?"
When you're only eighteen
And you have nothing to lose
And you're living a dream
With the sand in your shoes
You said falling in love is easy
It's easy to do
We fell in love
With the windows rolled down
Chasing the sunset
Through another empty town
Your hair was a mess
When you would dance on the coast
Your silhouette
Like some heavenly ghost
When you're only eighteen
And you have nothing to lose
And you're living a dream
With the sand in your shoes
You said falling in love is easy
It's easy to do
Summer skies
And warm colored sunsets
And a sunrise
Sneaking through my blinds
My demise
Well, I just can't help
But feel so lost
Falling in love is easy to do
With the wind in your hair
And the sand in your shoes
And though it may hurt
To have your heart broken in two
That didn't stop me from falling for you
When you're only eighteen
And you have nothing to lose
And you're living a dream
With the sand in your shoes
You said falling in love is easy
It's easy to do
Yeah, when you're dancing on the beach
Where the water meets your feet
And a cool ocean breeze
You're fighting the heat
Falling in love is easy
It's easy to do
It's easy to do
Oh, I'm falling for you
I was just about to leave
When I saw your face
You were laughing at me
With your beautiful mouth
You said, "You're looking miserable
Do you wanna get out?"
And you have nothing to lose
And you're living a dream
With the sand in your shoes
You said falling in love is easy
It's easy to do
With the windows rolled down
Chasing the sunset
Through another empty town
Your hair was a mess
When you would dance on the coast
Your silhouette
Like some heavenly ghost
And you have nothing to lose
And you're living a dream
With the sand in your shoes
You said falling in love is easy
It's easy to do
And warm colored sunsets
And a sunrise
Sneaking through my blinds
My demise
Well, I just can't help
But feel so lost
With the wind in your hair
And the sand in your shoes
And though it may hurt
To have your heart broken in two
That didn't stop me from falling for you
And you have nothing to lose
And you're living a dream
With the sand in your shoes
You said falling in love is easy
It's easy to do
Where the water meets your feet
And a cool ocean breeze
You're fighting the heat
Falling in love is easy
It's easy to do
It's easy to do
Oh, I'm falling for you

this song is so amazing. i was just about to put the lyrics in haha.
i honestly just think this is like the story of two people falling love, or one person falling in love with someone. it sort of sounds like a summer romance story. it's just so beautiful.
seeing this song performed live is probably one of the cutest things i've ever seen.
i think the song its self pretty self explantory though.
I fell in love all over again when I heard this song live. It reminded me of being 18 again, with my first love. How Dan knew what I was feeling that night is beyond me :-)
But regardless, a beautiful song about love and innocence.
I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say this is about his girlfriend in Australia. This is the same girl he sings about in other songs, such as An Ocean Between.
Now, about the lyrics. These may have been the demo lyrics, or what he sang live, but they changed a little bit on The Bright Lights EP:
I couldn't stand to be in that place I was just about to leave When I saw your face You were laughing at me With your beautiful mouth You said, "You're looking miserable. Do you want to get out?"
When you're only 18 And you got nothing to lose And your living a dream With the sand in your shoes (I said) Falling in love is easy It's easy to do
We fell in love With the windows rolled down Chasing the sunset Through another empty town Your hair was a mess When you would dance on the coast Your silhouette Like some heavenly ghost
When you're only 18 And you got nothing to lose And your living a dream With the sand in your shoes (I said) Falling in love is easy It's easy to do
Summer skies And warm colored sunsets And a sunrise Sneaking through my blinds My demise, I just can't help but feel so lost
Falling in love is easy to do With the wind in your hair And the sand in your shoes And though it may hurt To have your heart broken in two That didn't stop me from falling for you
When you're only 18 And you got nothing to lose And your living a dream With the sand in your shoes (I said) Falling in love is easy It's easy to do
When you're dancing on the beach Where the water meets your feet And a cool ocean breeze Is fighting the heat (I said) Falling in love is easy It's easy to do It's easy to do Oh, I'm falling for you
