One day she looked up the story of her nickname. "I thought it was strange that I was called after a woman who killed herself in ancient literature.

Sand In My Shoes Lyrics

Dido

Two weeks away feels like the whole world should've changed
But I'm home now
And things still look the same
I think I'll leave it till tomorrow to unpack
Try to forget for one more night
That I'm back in my flat on the road
Where the cars never stop going through the night
To real life where I can't watch the sun set
I don't have time
I don't have time

Chorus:
I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
but why would I want to
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would have been confused but I want to see you again

Tomorrow's back to wwork and down to sanity
should run a bath and then clear up the mess I made before I left here
Try to remind myself that i was happy here
Before I knew that I could get on the plane and fly away
From the road where the cars never stop going through the night
To a life where I can watch the sun set
And take my time
Take all our time

Chorus

Two weeks away, all it takes to change and turn me around I've fallen
I walked away and never said that I wanted to see you again

Chorus x 2

I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again
