They say you always know right away
But you can't foresee your sand being pulled into the sea under a tidal wave

“They say you always know right away” means that you’re supposed to know when something bad is going to happen like your relationship ending, but Love is blind so you would be so oblivious about anything ever going wrong you and your love.
