We build sandcastles and want to reach the sun
You probably make it too hard for yourself
Of all I've become and can do, of all I've managed here
Love was the greatest after all
You sleep your whole life away
What I deep down wanted was here all along
Happiness comes, happiness goes
But love was the greatest after all
So much unnecessary baggage you carry
I'll let it run through my hands
It comes and goes and it turns
Can't carry everything you get
A little here, a little there, it is what it is
I see sandcastles washing into the sea
You can throw most of it away
Like all the good advice on how to be perfect here
Yeah, no thanks, but I know what I'm doing
You sleep your whole life away
What I deep down wanted was here all along
Happiness comes, happiness goes
But love was the greatest after all, oh
So much unnecessary baggage you carry
I'll let it run through my hands
It comes and goes and it turns
Can't carry everything you get
A little here, a little there, it is what it is
I wrote my name in the sand
The sea just washed it away
The sea crashed and laughed at me
Happiness comes, happiness goes
But love was the greatest after all, ooh
So much unnecessary baggage you carry
I'll let it run through my hands
It comes and goes and it turns
Can't carry everything you get
A little here, a little there, it is what it is
I'll let it run through my hands
It comes and goes and it turns
Can't carry everything you get
A little here, a little there, it is what it is
