about

This remastered track is taken from the 2010 album, Here Nor There.

lyrics

Sometimes we think too much
These opposing views can be so out of touch
Oft times we reach too far
As we cast our lines at the shooting stars
I guess we try so hard to find ourselves and be free
We spend our lives chasing after things that we don't need

We build our castles in the sand
But we're surprised when the tide rolls in again
We throw all caution to the wind
Then we get blown over again

So it seems with all our means
That we should be just fine
But when it comes to wants and needs
It can be hard to draw the line
No matter what you have there's always something more
So we look for happiness in having more than those next door

We build our castles in the sand
But we're surprised when the tide rolls in again
We throw all caution to the wind
Then we get blown over again

(Guitar Solo)

So everything is yet to be seen
And no one knows how this might end
And fortunes take so much longer to make
And you might break if you don't bend
So what's in store for the ones next door and do we even care?
And what's at stake with the choices we make or is it neither here nor there?

We build our castles in the sand
But we're surprised when the tide rolls in again
We throw all caution to the wind
Then we get blown over again...
