Lyrics:

(Da da da da da etc)
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
(Da da na na, da da na na)

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
Burst in colour like a super nova
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
Just building castles in the sand

The tides roll in and waves get closer
And knock us over and we get stronger every time

We build our castles in the sand
Built a perfect house in a 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
Just building castles in the sand
Just building castles in the sand
