Richard Zihan Peng - Sand Castles (feat. Kate Short) Lyrics

There were tide pools forming in the holes our shovels left
Sand bars scarred with memories of our footsteps
Little tattoo of a moon on your ankle
Once upon a time we built sand castles
Then waves closed in
And we tried running
Just to save our skin
But the castles crumbled
We let chaos win
And the world came tumbling down
Thanks for the fun but what was it all for
Our work ends up right back on the sea floor
Didn't see it coming now we're all washed up
Still looking for a something in the wreckage of us
Sand castles never last long
Last long on the shore
Last long on the shore
Sunset surfboard swimming in the ocean
She sells seashells but we stole them
Tower to the sky but the walls were paper thin
When the time was right the monsters flooded in
We point fingers
We get mad while
The sour lingers
Demons laugh
And the castle sinks
Now we can't bring it back no more
Thanks for the fun but what was it all for
Our work ends up right back on the sea floor
Didn't see it coming now we're all washed up
Still looking for a something in the wreckage of us
Sand castles never last long
Last long on the shore
Last long on the shore
We got swept up in the moment, la la
We got swept up now we're broken, la la
We left the front gate wide open, la la
We couldn't save what was golden, la la
Let's build another tomorrow
I'll come and knock on your door
You can say no but please don't go
I miss our castles but I miss you more
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
Sand castles never last long
Last long on the shore
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
Sand castles never last long
Last long on the shore
Last long on the shore
