I always knew you were a rambler
Betting on you makes me a gambler
But I fell so hard, I ignored your past
Tried to tame your heart but you moved too fast

You're like a handful of water
Fistful of sand
The tighter I hold on
The more you slip right through my hands

You keep on running
So why do I even bother
Holding on to you
Is like a handful of water

Like the ocean waves sitting on high tide
Boy, you fill me up when you're by my side
And then you roll away, you never could stand still
This lonely beach knows how I feel

You're like a handful of water
Fistful of sand
The tighter I hold on
The more you slip right through my hands

You keep on running
So why do I even bother
Holding on to you
Is like a handful of water

You know I never try to tie you down
But I can't wait forever hoping you'd come back around

You keep on running
So why do I even bother
Holding on to you
Is like a handful of water

Fistful of sand
The tighter I hold on
The more you slip right through my hands

You keep on running
So why do I even bother
Holding on to you
It's impossible to do

Holding on to you
Is like a handful of water
