castle by the ocean water slow to break you down i'm here skipping stones i should have known this love would drown and they'll destroy you before too long the tides conspire a million strong you're holding on you keep holding on castle by the ocean you were sold out i never learn fireworks bleed in slow bloom above the tidepools the colours blur and they'll destroy you before too long the tides conspire a million strong you're holding on you keep holding on it's the same old ending it's still a lie i saw the jetstreams bruise the sky
