Met you at the mall Didn’t know how far I would fall My friends said I was a fool (You’re a fool) (Shut up) Cause you were older and got kicked out of school (You’re so rad) Together we were gonna travel the globe From Alberta to Ontario
But now I’m building Sandcastles in the sand (sandcastles in the sand) Thought I could fly when you held my hand (thought I could fly) (Now) Eternity turns to black and white It was the greatest week and a half Of my life
We used to go to the beach Back when happiness was in my reach (so close) On our favorite bench We’d sit and talk and you taught me to french
You’re good at pull-ups and have radical hair I hate my dad, he’s so unfair (you don’t understand our love) But now I’m building Sandcastles in the sand
Thought I could fly when I held your hand (I was wrong) Eternity turns to black and white It was the greatest week and a half Of my life
It’s crazy No one gets me Castles wash away Come back please I changed my mind Let’s go all the way (I'm ready, let's do it)
I miss you Sandcastles in the sand (I miss your hair) Thought I could fly when I held your hand (I thought you were the one) Sandcastles wash away (I’m ready, let’s do it) And all that’s left is some sand the next day (sand the next day) Sandcastles may be… (I’m on the pill now)
But now all they do is remind me of you (let’s go all the way, you said it’d be OK, I’m sorry) Sandcastles wash away
