lyrics

As a child you’d sit by the ocean building your castles from sand,
They’d seem to extend past the palm trees but then
They’d all wash away
They’d all wash away

And oh, oh, oh. Can you feel it now?
Oh, oh, oh. As they come crashing down.

As a child you’d sit by the fire building your castles from blocks
They’d seem to extend to the ceiling but then
They’d all fall away
They’d all fall away

And oh, oh, oh. Can you feel it now?
Oh, oh, oh. As they come crashing down.

The saltwater foam pours through every tower
And the last block you placed was just slightly off center
And now they’re slipping away

And oh, oh, oh. Can you feel it now?
Oh, oh, oh. As they come crashing down.

And the castles you’re building with me
Will inevitably cease to be
When you and I both have grown old
But that’s how it’s supposed to be.
