Here I stand
Like an hourglass I sift through time
Strand by strand
Try to find a way to just get by

I long to run
Escape the grind
This quicksand has got me reaching for the line
So take my hand
Take my life
Don't tell me it's better on the other side

'Cause we build up our lost dreams
As we etch them into life
It's as fragile as it seems
Like sandcastles against the tide
Like sandcastles against the tide
(Like sandcastles)

Keep away
From the moments that I can't rewind
Day by day
Searching for a little peace of mind

I long to run
Escape the grind
This quicksand has got me reaching for the line
So take my hand
Take my life
Don't tell me it's better on the other side

'Cause we build up our lost dreams
As we etch them into life
It's as fragile as it seems
Like sandcastles against the tide
Like sandcastles against the tide

'Cause we build up our lost dreams
As we etch them into life
It's as fragile as it seems
Like sandcastles against the tide
