Met you at the mall 
Didn’t know how far I would fall 
My friends said I was a fool (You’re a fool) (Shut up) 
Cause you were older and got kicked out of school (You’re so rad) 
Together we were gonna travel the globe 
From Alberta to Ontario 

But now I’m building 
Sandcastles in the sand (sandcastles in the sand) 
Thought I could fly when you held my hand (thought I could fly) 
(Now) Eternity turns to black and white 
It was the greatest week and a half 
Of my life 

We used to go to the beach 
Back when happiness was in my reach (so close) 
On our favorite bench 
We’d sit and talk and you taught me to French 
You’re good at pull-ups and have radical hair 
I hate my dad, he’s so unfair (you don’t understand our love) 

But now I’m building 
Sandcastles in the sand 
Thought I could fly when I held your hand (I was wrong) 
Eternity turns to black and white 
It was the greatest week and a half 
Of my life 

It’s crazy 
No one gets me 
Castles wash away [bad word] back please 
I changed my mind 
Let’s go all the way 
I miss you 

Sandcastles in the sand (I miss your hair) 
Thought I could fly when I held your hand (I thought you were the one) 
Sandcastles wash away (I’m ready, let’s do it) 
And all that’s left is some sand the next day (sand the next day) 
Sandcastles may be… (I’m on the pill now) 
But now all they do is remind me of you (let’s go all the way, you said it’d be OK, I’m sorry) 
Sandcastles wash away
