Built a perfect house
in a perfect town
Dreamt a perfect dream and
it all fell down
We held on tight like hungry lovers
Watched the day break
from beneath the covers
Had to know for sure
what it's all about
Oh this should be easy
Oh just tell me we're happy
Just building castles in the sand
da da na na da da na na
da da na na da da na na
I saw the naked light and
it burned my eyes
Couldn't look away no matter
how I tried
I watched you explode
when you think it's over
Burst in colour like a super nova
Had to track you down
had to find you out
Oh this should be easy
Oh just tell me we're happy
Just building castles in the sand
da da na na da da na na
da da na na
Just building castles in the sand
da da na na da da na na
da da na na da da na na
The tides roll in and
waves get closer
And knock us over and
we get stronger every time
We build our castles
in the sand
Built a perfect house
in a perfect town
Dreamt a perfect dream and
it all fell down
Oh oh just tell me we're happy
Just building castles in the sand
Just building castles in the sand
da da na na da da na na
da da na na da da na na
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Just building castles in the sand
da da na na da da na na
da da na na da da na na
da da na na da da na na
da da na na
Just building castles in the sand
da da na na da da na na
da da na na
Just building castles in the sand
