Castles In The Sand

There must've 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've 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

Just waiting for another face to break my promised land

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

Like 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 answer locked up in my past? in my past

I'm sick of building castles in the sand

Seem like everybody else I know can hold it in their hands

So will it ever happen or am I doomed to walk this land

Just building castle's in the sand?

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

I've been over and over the reasons

But I can't find the 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

Seems like everybody else I know can hold it it their hands

So will it ever happen or am I doomed to walk this land

Just building castles in the sand?
