[verse 1]
We build castles of sand and want to reach all the way to the sun
One might make it too hard for oneself
Of all I became or can do, of all I achieved
The biggest thing was still love (the biggest thing was still love)
[bridge]
Dreams come, dreams go
One is sleeping the whole life
What I was longing for was here all the time
Happiness comes, happiness goes
But the biggest thing was love after all, oh
So much you carry needlessly
[chorus]
It may flow through my hands
Sand everywhere
It comes and goes and it turns
Sand everywhere
You can't carry all that you get
Drop what you can
Some here, some there; yeah, there's still...
...Sand everywhere
[verse 2]
I see castles of sand washing away into the ocean
Most could be thrown into the sea (most could be thrown into the sea)
Like all good advice on how to be perfect here
No, well thanks, but I know what I'm doing (well thanks, but I know what I'm doing)
[bridge]
Dreams come, dreams go
One is sleeping the whole life
What I was longing for was here all the time
Happiness comes, happiness goes
But the biggest thing was love after all, oh
So much you carry needlessly
[chorus]
It may flow through my hands
Sand everywhere
It comes and goes and it turns
Sand everywhere
You can't carry all that you get
Drop what you can
Some here, some there; yeah, there's still...
...Sand everywhere
[middle-8]
I wrote my name into the sand
The ocean just washed it away
I tried to preserve it
The ocean hit and laughed at me
Happiness comes, happiness goes
But the biggest thing was love after all, oh
So much you carry needlessly
[chorus]
It may flow through my hands
Sand everywhere
It comes and goes and it turns
Sand everywhere
You can't carry all that you get
Drop what you can
Some here, some there; yeah, there's still...
...Sand everywhere
It may flow through my hands
Sand everywhere
It comes and goes and it turns
Sand everywhere
You can't carry all that you get
Drop what you can
Some here, some there; yeah, there's still...
...Sand everywhere
