[Verse — acoustic 7/8] We made a castle out of sand You named the towers, held my hand I kept the ocean from the door You asked for one high turret more [Pre-Chorus] The tide is licking at my knees There's open coastline past the reeds [Chorus — driving] One wave could make the shoreline new One wave could wash away our room I ache to let the water in And learn what I might build again But little footprints mark the floor Of everything we're standing for (Out to sea, back to shore) [Bridge — bare vocal] I sit and watch the water climb Our castle goes, or else my time [Outro] I hold a wall against the blue And feel the tide come through me too
