Sand Castle

Lyrics

Verse 1 Bare feet in the moonlit sand Building dreams with trembling hands Windows glowing, laughter warm Safe inside before the storm Picture frames along the hall Promises written on the wall Thought forever meant forever Guess forever couldn't hold together Pre-Chorus And I watched the tide come closer While we slept beneath the stars Never thought the waves could reach us Never thought they'd pull apart Chorus Our love was a sand castle Standing tall against the blue In and out, the water wandered Slowly stealing me from you Up and down, my heart keeps falling Like the shoreline when it breaks Every whisper from the outsiders Was another wave to take Our love was a sand castle Built so carefully by hand Now I'm holding grains of memory Watching home slip through the sand Verse 2 Footprints fading one by one Like old songs left half-unsung The rooms still know your shadow's name But nothing here feels quite the same The ocean never said a word Still it carried every hurt People talking from a distance Turned our silence into resistance Pre-Chorus And the winds became opinions Blowing harder every day Till the walls we built together Couldn't keep the sea away Chorus Our love was a sand castle Standing tall against the blue In and out, the water wandered Slowly stealing me from you Up and down, my heart keeps falling Like the shoreline when it breaks Every whisper from the outsiders Was another wave to take Our love was a sand castle Built so carefully by hand Now I'm holding grains of memory Watching home slip through the sand Ballet Interlude (Ooooh...) The dancers spin like waves around me (Ooooh...) White ribbons floating through the air (Ooooh...) Every turn becomes a memory Of a home that isn't there Bridge Maybe castles made of stone Would have survived the sea But ours was made from fragile hearts And everything we used to be Still I see you in the sunrise Still I hear you in the rain Still I search the empty shoreline For the pieces that remain Final Chorus (Amplified) Our love was a sand castle Reaching higher than the sky In and out, the waves kept coming Till there was no place to hide Up and down, my soul is breaking Like the ocean during storms Every voice that came between us Tore apart what once was warm Our love was a sand castle But I'd build it all again Just to hear your laughter echo Through those golden walls of sand Outro (Softly) Sand castle... Sand castle... Final High Note And IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII...
