So many chances come and gone
was I too proud was I wrong
Still building castles in the sky
I thought by now I’d have a home
Maybe a family of my own
still building castles in the sky
Like you
I’ve been messed up and
tested courtesy of life
New rules
I might fail but I’ll never know
until I’ve tried
It’s on me
See I choose to swim in
rivers running wild
It’s on me
Everything that I’ve seen has
made it worth while
I’ve been swimming upstream
since I was a child
Sometimes I cry when I’m alone
This business cuts me to the bone
you see the sorrow in my eyes
Open my chest and let it out
suddenly free of all doubt
I let my voice guide
Like you
I have been to the darkest
corners of my mind
What’s new
are the lines on my face now
I’m racing against time
It’s on me
See I choose to swim in
rivers running wild
It’s on me
Everything that’s coming will
make it worth while
Though my heart don’t understand
That it’s painful to expand
It’s the only way of life
And I’m not afraid to fight
I’ve been swimming upstream
since I was a child
Sometimes I cry when I’m alone
This business cuts me to the bone
Still building castles in the sky
