I built you a sandcastle One night in July It might have been summer then But unlike the skies, you had lost your light and I wanted to fix things Find some kind of structure Clouded eyes, you sat there as I gathered the sand Then that wave washed it back I made you a paper airplane Claimed I was the pilot That I could fly you anywhere But you were so damn scared You tied yourself to the runway A speckle on the concrete and I wanted to fix things Find what you were missing Clouded eyes, you sat there as I flew out of sight Still waiting on my descent What happened Where did you go My old friend I'm on the lookout But I'm not sure If there's anything more I can do I thought I could fix things Find something that'd lift you I tried but you never really wanted to change I made you a paper airplane You chose to stay I built you a sandcastle It washed away Written by Michelle Creber
