This Song Is Made of Crack Cocaine: Sandcastles in the Sand

Matt Webb Mitovich wasn't kidding when he said the new Robin Sparkles song on next Monday's How I Met Your Mother is made of crack cocaine.

I've had this song stuck in my head for the last 24 hours. Why should I suffer alone?

Here's the audio to the full song.
Here's a clip to the music video. (Yes, that's Tiffany, James van der Beek, and Alan Thicke.)

Sandcastles in the Sand


And...here are the lyrics. Well, what I could figure out anyway. I got almost all of it. Let me know if you figure out the parts marked with XXX.

Met you at the mall
Didn't know how far I would fall
My friends said that I was a fool
Tiffany: Just a fool
Robin: Shut up
Because you were older and got kicked out of school (You’re so rad)
Together we were gonna travel the globe
From Alberta to Ontario

But now I'm building
Sandcastles in the sand
(Sandcastles in the sand)
Thought I could fly when you held my hand
(thought I could fly)
(But now)
Eternity turns to black and white
It was the greatest week and a half
Of my life

We used to go to the beach
Back when happiness was in my reach
(so close)
On our favorite bench
We didn’t talk and you taught me to French
You’re good at (whole lots?) and have radical hair
I hate my dad he’s so unfair
(You don’t understand what I want!)

Chorus

Bridge
It’s crazy, no one gets me
Xxx wash away
Come back please I’ve changed my mind
Let’s go all the way
(I’m ready let’s do it)
(I miss you)

Sandcastles in the sand
(Oh. I miss your hair)
Thought I could fly when I held your hand
(thought I could fly)
(I thought you were the one)
Sandcastles wash away
(I’m ready)
And all that’s left is some sand the next day
(sand the next day)
Sandcastles may be cute
(I’m on the pill now)
Now all they do is remind me of you
(Let’s go all the way)
(You said you’re gay)
(I’m sorry)
Sandcastles wash away

It was the greatest week and a half
Of my life

We used to go to the beach
Back when happiness was in my reach (so close)
On our favorite bench
We’d sit and talk and you taught me to French
You’re good at pull-ups and have radical hair
I hate my dad, he’s so unfair (you don’t understand our love)

But now I’m building
Sandcastles in the sand
Thought I could fly when I held your hand (I was wrong)
Eternity turns to black and white
It was the greatest week and a half
Of my life

It’s crazy
No one gets me
Castles wash away
Come back please
I changed my mind
Let’s go all the way
I miss you

Sandcastles in the sand (I miss your hair)
Thought I could fly when I held your hand (I thought you were the one)
Sandcastles wash away (I’m ready, let’s do it)
And all that’s left is some sand the next day (sand the next day)
Sandcastles may be… (I’m on the pill now)
But now all they do is remind me of you (let’s go all the way, you said it’d be OK, I’m sorry)
Sandcastles wash away

That makes so much more sense! Although I know that the first time she says "thought you could fly when I held your hand" instead of the other way around.

Oh Famin! You are trying to take us all down with you!

I watched the video clip two days ago, but I'm waiting for the episode to hear the whole song. It has not stopped the crack from getting to my brain, though. ;)

Famin - Where is this video supposed to be set? That looked suspiciously like the Santa Monica mountain range in the background.

]<img border="> Mwa-ha-ha! I did plan on taking you all down with me! Sorry, Trishy! No, not really. :-D

MaeMae, you can pretend all you like, I know you're singing "My friends said I was a fool/ You're a fool/ Shut up" under your breath. You can't hide from me!

Marci, I was thinking the same thing--it looked a lot like Malibu beach. They haven't said anything about where it was filmed. I'm pretty sure it's not a Canadian beach though!!

Meg, I think the rest of the video will be worth the wait! I'm hoping they cut the video with the gang's reactions to it. :) Do we know who all will guest-star in this episode?

I thought that Tiffany and Alan Thicke were going to have bigger roles, but seeing Dawson Leery balding and in a fat suit made up for it. It's like looking into the future for Dawson's Creek: The 20th Anniversary Reunion.

Hey Washington! I think maybe Dawson Leery will have a better future than Simon the ex-boyfriend. :) At least a little more promising!
