Stumbling around in the darkness

Looking for the place we started

Back to basics, hardly

Life's a little complicated.

Give me a beautiful escape

Where no one knows my name

Where I can just let loose

And undo all we lost along the way.

Ooh-ooh...

We can't understand

Tried to change, we can't

These castles, they're all made of sand

Ooh-ooh...

Wasn't what we planned

Tried to change, we can't

These castles, they're all made of sand.

Knock 'em down

Knock 'em down

Knock 'em down

'cause these castles, they're all made of sand

Knock 'em down

Knock 'em down

'cause these castles, they're all made of sand

(These castles, they're all made of sand)

(These castles, they're all made of sand)

(These castles, they're all made of sand)

Lately, I've been heartless

Did I have a word with myself?

Aside of the part where

I remember who I'm supposed to be.

Give me a beautiful escape

Where no one knows my name

Where I can just let loose

And undo all we lost along the way.

Ooh-ooh...

We can't understand

Tried to change, we can't

These castles, they're all made of sand

Ooh-ooh...

Wasn't what we planned

Tried to change, we can't

These castles, they're all made of sand.

Knock 'em down

Knock 'em down

Knock 'em down

'cause these castles, they're all made of sand

Knock 'em down

Knock 'em down

'cause these castles, they're all made of sand

(These castles, they're all made of sand)

(These castles, they're all made of sand)

(These castles, they're all made of sand)

(These castles, they're all made of sand)
