If it's a rainy day, we can just drive away
But it's sunny outside so we might as well stay
Well, I'll collect some shells and you move the sand
We'll build our little sandcastle in a far-off land
Where no one gets hurt and no one dies
And your tears are scared of leaving your eyes
So grab a shovel and start digging deep
Cause our little sandcastle is all we can keep
And our little sandcastle will have a swimming pool
A great big tower and maybe a chicken coop
We can run around playing tag in the yard
Oh, why does this place have to be so far?
Well the east wing is done and now for the west
We should build a few more rooms for our friends and guests
When we finally finish the north and the south
I'll show you why I chose you and why you are mine
Cause your ears are like the shells I found
They listen to my soul
And your eyes reflect the war
And our little sandcastle seems real
I want to leave this world and go
To a place where
Where no one gets hurt and no one dies
And your tears are scared of leaving your eyes
So grab a shovel and start digging deep
Cause our little sandcastle is all we can keep
Our little sandcastle will probably never exist
But I like to dream and build our lives in it
And I'm sorry for never finishing our room
I didn't have enough time to make it as beautiful as you
When I lay my head to rest tonight
I'll be dreaming of our little sandcastle life
Where we'll never get hurt and never die
And our eyes will refuse to let us cry
No one gets hurt and no one dies
And your tears are scared of leaving your eyes
So grab a shovel and start digging deep
Cause our little sandcastle is all we can keep
