Castles In The Sand

There must have been a moment, a second or a time

Where I didn't look up, or I missed some kind of sign

Turned the wrong direction, but she was just an inch away

Like a misconnection, and my fuel just slipped away

There'll be times when I feel like I'm

conspired against by fate

It's almost bad enought to make me hate

I'm sick of building castles in the sand

Just waiting for another plane, to break my promised land

I've been looking for the real thing

in an lonely one night stand

Like building castles in the sand

'Cause it terrifies me, ending up alone

And it walks beside me, the ghost "the chance is gone"

Did I have it? Did I let it go?

Or closed the door too fast?

Is there an answer locked up in my past? In my past

I'm sick of building castles in the sand

Seems like everybody else I know can hold it in their hands

So will it ever happen? Or am I doomned to walk this land?

Just building castles in the sand

I've been dying, I've been living alone so long

I've been over and over the reason

and I can't find a thing that's wrong

In my mind, all the evidence seems the same

I wouldn't even know it, if she walked right today

I'm sick of building castles in the sand

Seems like everybody else I know can hold it in their hands

So will it ever happen? Or am I doomned to walk this land?

Just building castles in the sand
