Christina Shinkle - Sandpaper Beach Lyrics

Stick a fork in it
And call it done
We both feel the same
So why am I the one?

Cast as the scapegoat
Carrying guilt
The Scarlet Letter
Is the letter "L"

I already know
How it's gonna go
The jaws of life
Are gonna wreck the car

I just need to pause
And let it sink in
That I've got the job of
Leaver

I won't be your yo-yo
Anymore
Push me out
And pull me in

Visions of lawyers
And moving vans
How did this happen?

The ocean barfs driftwood
And debris
There's warning signs
About undertow

I walk the line of sea scum
It's difficult
It's difficult
It's difficult
To climb in
To the catapult

I already know
How it's gonna go
The jaws of life
Are gonna wreck the car

I just need to pause
And let it sink in
That I've got the job of
Leaver

To have and to hold
To fold and implode
A layer of frost
Covers me

And everything's cold
And I'm feeling old
And I walk barefoot
On a sandpaper beach

I wait for the
Divorce fairy to come
I lay out paperwork
And cigarettes

I light a pyre
For the hallmark card
I stand
As a penitent

O God
O God
O God
There's only my footprints
On this beach
And I don't need
To be carried

But my innocence
Is gone
And I'm jaded
Please help me

I already know
How it's gonna go
The jaws of life
Are gonna wreck the car

I just need to pause
And let it sink in
That I've got the job of
Leaver
