[Chorus]
Oh rocks, I got lots of them
They keep throwing and missing me
It said "I've been building castles oh since I was seventeen"
Lord knows I still ain't rich and I wear the same old jeans
But the rocks that they keep throwing are the ones that build my dreams
The rocks that they keep throwing are the ones that build my dreams, yeah
Hey!
The rocks that they keep throwing are the ones that build my dreams, yeah (hey!)

[Verse 1]
Oh, I could barely sing but I could strum a couple chords
Met some dudes from outta town
Shotgunned the couch, swept up the floors
Couldn't afford a studio
So I used all my student loan
Turned the attic into a starship but I call it home

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Say we don't rent shit
Oh, no we buy and we build
My scars close but left behind something real
In California-yeah
She's stolen the only key that cuts me open
Ooo...

[Chorus]
Rocks, I got lots of them
They keep throwing and missing me
Said "I've been building castles oh since I was seventeen"
Lord knows I still ain't rich and I wear the same old jeans
But the rocks that they keep throwing are the ones that build my dreams
The rocks that they keep throwing are the ones that build my dreams, yeah
Hey!
The rocks that they keep throwing are the ones that build my dreams, yeah (hey!)

[Verse 2]
Been working no pay for a year, now you want in
That shit's funny to me
Turned a negative to a positive like it's nothing
Hit the ground running
'Cause I remember how this started out
Keiffer sleeping on the couch
Up in the studio till the late am
Both neighbours wanted me out
Oh rocks, I got lots of them
But they wanna see me drowning
My head's above the water
Her head's above average...

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I know it ain't easy to save face
When we come from the same place
I wish you were here but our time has passed
Now I'm so far away

[Chorus]
Oh rocks, I got lots of them
They keep throwing and missing me
Said "I've been building castles oh since I was seventeen"
Lord knows I still ain't rich and I wear the same old jeans
But the rocks that they keep throwing are the ones I build my dreams
The rocks that they keep growing, are the ones that build my dreams, yeah
Hey!
The rocks that they keep throwing are the ones that build my dreams, yeah (hey!)
Hey!
The rocks that they keep throwing are the ones that build my dreams, yeah
