castles of sand

(album: the love that you want - 2020)

The love that you want
You thought that you'd found it
But the weight of my arms
Made you feel like you're drowning

Our shot in the dark
Turned into an evening
Together we built all our castles of sand

We thought it was right
We thought it'd be easy
Was a trick of the light
And you didn't complete me
So tell me I'm wrong
I'm just tryna be honest
Together we built all our castles of sand

We lost our footing on the ocean floor
Darling I can barely see the shore

So where did you go to
I'm on my own
I need a signal to find you
Cause I'm going
Under the riptide can you pull my hand
The waves came and washed out our castle of sand

Do you want me to stay?
I just wish you would tell me
Or should I swim away?
If the current allows me
So tell me I'm wrong
I'm just tryna be honest
Together we built all our castles of sand

We lost our footing on the ocean floor
Darling I can barely see the shore

So where did you go to
I'm on my own
I need a signal to find you
Cause I'm going
Under the riptide can you pull my hand
The waves came and washed out our castle of sand

So where did I lose you
I'm on my own
I need a signal to find you
Cause I'm going
Under the riptide can you pull my hand
The waves came and washed out our castle of sand
