[Verse 1]
Stumblin' around in the darkness
Lookin' for the place we started
Back to basics, hardly
Life's a little complicated

[Pre-Chorus]
Give me a beautiful escape
Where no one knows my name
Where I can just let loose
And undo all we lost along the way

[Chorus]
Ooh
We can't understand
Tried to change, we can't
These castles, they're all made of sand
Ooh
Wasn't what we planned
Tried to change, we can't
These castles, they're all made of sand

[Drop]
So knock 'em down
Knock 'em down
Knock 'em down
'Cause these castles, they're all made of sand
Knock 'em down
Knock 'em down
'Cause these castles, they're all made of sand
(These castles, they're all made of sand)
(These castles, they're all made of sand)
(These castles, they're all made of sand)
(These castles, they're all made of sand)
[Verse 2]
Lately, I've been heartless
Need to have a word with myself
Lost sight of the part where
I remember who I'm supposed to be

[Pre-Chorus]
Give me a beautiful escape
Where no one knows my name
Where I can just let loose
And undo all we lost along the way

[Chorus]
Ooh
We can't understand
Tried to change, we can't
These castles, they're all made of sand
Ooh
Wasn't what we planned
Tried to change, we can't
These castles, they're all made of sand

[Drop]
So knock 'em down
Knock 'em down
Knock 'em down
'Cause these castles, they're all made of sand
Knock 'em down
Knock 'em down
'Cause these castles, they're all made of sand
(These castles, they're all made of sand)
(These castles, they're all made of sand)
(These castles, they're all made of sand)
(These castles, they're all made of sand)
[Outro]
These castles, they're all made of sand
