Zach Sands - Quicksand

{verse}

It felt like an ocean passed me by
It waved goodbye, hello, goodbye — say hello to the riptide
I woke up on a mountaintop
Terrified that this torrential rain would never stop
I crashed the party like a waterfall
But every time that i look up, i never cease to feel so small

{chorus}

i think i’m sinking where i stand
calling out, grasping for your hand
i don’t expect you to understand
how it feels to be swimming in quicksand

{verse}

I thought my feet were on solid ground
But every step that i took forward took me further down
Do i need to freezе and just hold still?
Time is killing me and now i’ve got somе time to kill
But if i can’t move, i will never be free
And it seemed like i had somewhere else to be

{chorus}

i think i’m sinking where i stand
calling out, grasping for your hand
i don’t expect you to understand
how it feels to be swimming in quicksand

{verse}

Until a passing stranger took a fallen stick
And extended out the end until the sand was not so quick
I thanked the kind stranger, she turned to me and said
“the only real danger was inside your head.”
So i brushed myself off, looked up and she had disappeared
Like the one who saved my life was never really here

{chorus}

i thought i was sinking where i stand
calling out, grasping for your hand
i didn’t think anyone would understand
how it feels to be swimming in quicksand
