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      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   And I burst in comin' like a supernova   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      And tides roll in, and waves get closer   The night was over    But we get stronger every time   We build our castles in the sand      Built a perfect house in perfect town   Dreamt a perfect dream and it all fell down      Oh, just tell me we're happy,    Just building castles in the sand   Just building castles in the sand      Oh, just bulding castles in the sand   Just building castles in the sand
