Текст песни I Built You a Sandcastle - Michelle Creber

I built you a sandcastle
One night in July
It might have been summer then
But unlike the skies, you had lost your light and

I wanted to fix things
Find some kind of structure
Clouded eyes, you sat there as I gathered the sand
Then that wave washed it back

I made you a paper airplane
Claimed I was the pilot
That I could fly you anywhere
But you were so damn scared
You tied yourself to the runway
A speckle on the concrete and

I wanted to fix things
Find what you were missing
Clouded eyes, you sat there as I flew out of sight
Still waiting on my descent

What happened
Where did you go
My old friend
I'm on the lookout
But I'm not sure
If there's anything more I can do

I thought I could fix things
Find something that'd lift you
I tried but you never really wanted to change

I made you a paper airplane
You chose to stay
I built you a sandcastle
It washed away
