Intro: Two weeks away feels like the whole world should have 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 a life where I can’t watch the sun set I don’t have time I don’t have time 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 been confused But I ......want to see you again Tomorrow’s back to work 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 a 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 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 been confused But I ......want to see you again I ......want to see you again I ......want to see you again 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 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 been confused But I ......want to see you again 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 been confused But I ......want to see you again I ......want to see you again (hold) I ......... want to see you again

La chanson évoque le sentiment de nostalgie après un voyage, où l'on se rend compte que rien n'a vraiment changé à son retour, mais que l'on ne peut s'empêcher de penser à une personne chère. Elle illustre le contraste entre le désir de revenir à une vie quotidienne et la difficulté de tourner la page, surtout quand des souvenirs intenses persistent. Le protagoniste lutte avec cette ambivalence, conscient qu'il devrait avancer, mais en même temps, il ressent un besoin profond de revoir cette personne. On peut imaginer le contexte d’un retour d’un séjour où l’on a vécu des moments précieux, celui qui se retrouve face à une réalité monotone, ne pouvant que se souvenir des instants passés. Tout en tentant de retrouver un semblant de normalité, il est tiraillé par le désir de revivre ces belles expériences.
