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 colours 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, knock us 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
