[Verse] They said the stars were just for show Not for hands to ever hold So we built our castles out of sand Watched them crumble Grain by grain [Prechorus] They told us hush They told us stay They told us dreams could blow away [Chorus] But I can’t help it I dream too loud My heart beats thunder in the crowd They said be quiet I said no I’ll let these restless echoes grow [Verse 2] They warned the moon might pull too strong Tides can sweep you far from home So we hid our maps beneath the floor And dared to wonder Nothing more [Bridge] Folded wings can’t take the sky But still They ache They wonder why A caged bird hums a shattered tune Whispered secrets to the moon [Chorus] But I can’t help it I dream too loud My heart beats thunder in the crowd They said be quiet I said no I’ll let these restless echoes grow
