Met you in the poppies
Didn’t know how far that got me
My friends said I was a fool
To try and act so cool
But I wanted you to want me
Didn’t know you’d haunt me
From Cleveland to Abu Dhabi
I belonged to the wrong team
Then you touched my hand
Under the ocean, in the sand
California dreaming
Made me believe in me
And you
But now I’m building
Sandcastles
I’m made of sand
Thought I could fly
when you held my hand
thought it wouldn’t die
but now
Eternity turns to black and white
It was the greatest year of my life
Oh oh oh oh oh
We used to go to the beach
Back when happiness
was in our reach
And now you’re lying dead
On our favorite bed
Where we’d sit and talk
and you’d turn me red
You’re good at pretending
and have beautiful hair
Even when it’s all gone
I hate the world, it’s so unfair
But now I’m building
Sandcastles
I’m made of the sand
sandcastles in the sand
Thought I could fly
when you held my hand
thought I could die
but now
Eternity turns to black and white
It was the greatest year of my life
Oh oh oh oh oh
Life is crazy,
no one gets me
Castles wash away
Come back, please,
I’ve changed my mind
I’d go away forever
With you this time
I miss you
Sandcastles
I’m made of the sand
sandcastles in the sand
Thought I could fly
when you held my hand
thought I could die
but now
Eternity turns to black and white
It was the greatest year of my life
Oh oh oh oh oh
Sandcastles,
I’m made of sand
Thought I would die
The first time I held your hand
Sandcastles wash away
And all that’s left is
Where we used to play
I’m made of sand
Falling from the sky
And into your hands
All I do is remind myself of you
Sandcastles wash away
But you don’t.
You don’t.
I swear to death we’re like perfect for each other
drew starkey
