Thunder Castles in the Sand song lyrics

There must have been a moment

A second or a time

When I didn't look up

Or I missed some kind of sign

Turned the wrong direction

When she was just an inch away

Like a missed connection

And my future slipped away

There's been times when I feel like I'm conspired against by fate

It's almost bad enough to make me hate

I'm sick of building castles in the sand

Waiting for another fake to break my promised land

I've been looking for the real thing in a lonely one night stand

Just building castles in the sand

Cos it terrifies me, ending up alone

And it walks beside me, the ghost of chances gone

Did I have it, did I let it go,

Or close the door to fast?

Is there an answere locked up in my past

In my past...

I'm sick of building castles in the sand

Waiting for another fake to break my promised land

I've been looking for the real thing in a lonely one night stand

Just building castles in the sand

I've been dying, I've been living alone so long

Going over and over the reasons, but I can't find a thing that's wrong

In my mind all the evidence seems to say

I wouldn't even know it if she walked right in today

I'm sick of building castles in the sand

Waiting for another fake to break my promised land

I've been looking for the real thing in a lonely one night stand

Just building castles in the sand
