Quicksand ft. Cora Haven Lyrics

You were sixteen, wearing them cut-off jeans

Seemed to know exactly what you wanted

My world was upside down, spinning round and round and round

Looking for an ounce of faith to hold on to

Yeah, the demons in my head said you'll just hurt her

But the angels said we were meant to be together

So I broke down all my walls that I'd built for years

Closing every one off and started to love again

Feeling things that I had just wrote off

Forever's not long enough to be your man

But I'll cherish every moment because life passes fast like quicksand

Singing Strawberry Wine in my old Mustang

I'll never forget that day at Holly Bay

And getting down on one knee in a hollow in Kentucky

And tying the knot at Surfside City Beach

We planted our roots here in these mountains

We laughed and cried and asked God why

But his plan just wasn't mine

I can see him up there now, just laughing

Forever's not long enough to be your man

But I'll cherish every moment because life passes fast like quicksand

Like quicksand

We brought into this world a red-haired, green-eyed baby girl

She rocked both our worlds

Forever's not long enough to be her dad

But I'll cherish every moment because life passes fast like quicksand

Like quicksand
