Sandcastles

If it’s a rainy day, you can just drive away
But it’s sunny outside so we might as well stay
Well I’ll collect some shells
And you move the sand
We’ll build our little sandcastle in a far off land
Where no one gets hurt and no one dies
And your tears are scared of leaving your eyes
So grab the shovel and start diggin’ deep
‘Cause our little sandcastle is all we can keep
In our little sandcastle we’ll have a swimming pool
A great big tower and maybe a chicken coop
We can run around playin’ tag in the yard
Oh why does this place have to be so far?
Well the east wing is done
And now for the west
We should build a few more rooms for our friends and guests
When we finally finish the north and the south
I’ll show you why I chose you and why you are mine
‘Cause your ears are like the shells I found
They listen to my soul
Your eyes reflect the water and our little sandcastle seems real
I want to leave this world and go to a place where
No one gets hurt and no one dies and
Your tears are scared of leaving your eyes
So grab the shovel and start digging deep
‘Cause our little sandcastle is all we can keep
Our little sandcastle will probably never exist
But I like to dream and build our lives in it
And I’m sorry for never finishing our room
I didn’t have enough time to make it as beautiful as you
When I lay my head to rest tonight
I’ll be dreaming of our little sandcastle life
Where we’ll never get hurt and never die
And our eyes will refuse to let us cry
No one gets hurt and no one dies
And your tears are scared of leaving your eyes
So grab the shovel and start diggin’ deep
‘Cause our little sandcastle is all we can keep
