[Verse 1]

A cool breeze comes off the ocean

By lips were chapped

And I knew the wave was coming

But I still hoped we wouldn't crash

Our sun sank behind the bay as we watched it go

Deep down, the truth remained that it would never be like it always was before

And yet still I tried to keep our ghost afloat, with no hope

[Chorus]

The sandcastle I built on stilts

It got washed away in the waters of my guilt

And I'm haunted by you, still

You're like sunburn in the rain

We're like shadows in the shade

Though I'm marooned inside your low tide, you look the same

[Verse 2]

You always found a way to paint me away

In all your darkest shades

And then wonder why I would never shine

When I was caught inside your gaze

Beat back against the current

Our winds had changed, you anchored me

[Chorus]

The sandcastle I built on stilts

It got washed away in the waters of my guilt

And I'm haunted by you, still

You're like sunburn in the rain

We're like shadows in the shade

Though I'm marooned inside your low tide, you look the same

[Bridge 1]

Coming out of shock, fading into numb

Waking up to see through you and everything you've done

[Bridge 2]

You said that this hurts, standing there in my shirt

You think I would have learned by now

About you and how you use this curse

[Chorus]

The sandcastle I built on stilts

It got washed away in the waters of my guilt

And I'm haunted by you, still

You're like sunburn in the rain

We're like shadows in the shade

Though I'm marooned inside your low tide, you look the same

You look the same
