What happened to the water where we used to play?
It always came from storms that made us hide away
We were afraid but nature told us it would be alright
I always knew you because we shared the same dark night

I noticed you next to me
We couldn’t really say
Though we felt the same things
But castles were being built
That’s what grown-ups like to do

I’d like to dig my way to find the ocean under the sand
I know it’s there because my dreams guide my hand
Rocks jet out bringing me closer to desperate men
There’s no living except to sail where courage soothed them

I noticed I wasn’t the only one
Some dance the night away
You only needed an ocean
Castles fall away when we let them
Or were they ever really there?

The soft life hides from the failures of fear
I’m going to turn myself away from things I hear
I wasn’t born for what makes a King survive
Feelings aren’t for him to judge if they keep us alive

I noticed you walked away
Did I disappoint you
Or did you find yourself?
Castles seem small to ships at sea
I wondered if you were building a new one
