Sandcastles mistaken for dunes
I thought I knew what I was getting into
I’m still stuck in your room
Waiting to say goodbye
You were taught to survive
But the tide took you under
Oh, it must be natures disguise
When you go to the other side
Wont you leave a little love behind
I went looking for you
Didn’t know your new home was in the sky
Fly away
Fly fly away
Sandcastles mistaken for dunes
You thought you knew what you were getting into
When I go to the streets
I’m met with vignettes
The shadows fall
But they have not taken you yet
I’m not ready, I’m not ready, to forget
When you got to the other side
Wont you leave a little love behind
I went looking for you
Didn't know your new home was in the sky
Fly away
Fly fly away
Sandcastles mistaken for dunes
Thought I could hold onto you
Objects are a reminder
But don’t take my regrets
I wish I had just a little more time
But what would you get
I hope you’re doing all right on the other side
