If I build a castle out of sand 
 I bet you’ll be the one to crash it down 
 Before the waves do 
 Before the waves do, before the waves do 
    だけど最近気づいた yeah I realized that I don’t hate or love 
 People like you 
 People like you, people like you   
 ‘Cause we’re all thirsty though we try to hide it 
 It’s like were in the midst of open water 
 Anyone to drink it is doomed to dehydrate 
 浮き輪もない どうしたもんか   
 Where are you gonna rest your feet 
 When you’re in too deep? 
 Are you gonna fly? Or are you the type to say things like 
 “Let’s try and wait” and stare at the sky? 
 But who’s gonna start his engine 
 And come and try and find you in the middle of the night?   
 We all make castles out of sand 
 I know you’ve built yours far beyond the rocks 
 Where no one finds you 
 No one finds you, no one finds you   
 I’ve got a friend that I would take a bullet to the heart 
 That is, I mean if I had to, if I had to, if I reaaaaally had to   
 And we’re all looking for that perfect distance 
 Don’t want the waves to steal our dreams away 
 永遠なんてあるようでないものだし 
 Let’s look for beauty in things that don’t last   
 Who will you share your story with and laugh 
 “Oh damn, thought I was gonna die! ” 
 ‘Cause I find treasure in times like these 
 And I find beauty in things like that 
 For whom would you start your engine 
 And leave the comfort of your bed in the middle of the night?   
 勝敗は好きに君が決めればいいんじゃない? 
 I bet you have a set of rulers stacked in your pocket 
 To make sure that you haven’t fallen short in your little world 
 I happen to like the kind of things that can’t be measured 
 言葉の隙間にある想いを聞き 目に止まるのに 
 写真に写らない 仕草に小さな宇宙を見るの   
 どうやら君の方が2, 3ミリ私よりも背が高いみたい 
 けれども私の方が0. 5秒ほど長く息を止められるよ   
 Oh, where are you gonna rest your feet 
 When you’re in too deep? Are you gonna fly? 
 Or are you the type to say things like 
 Let’s try and wait and stare at the stars? 
 But who’s gonna start her engine 
 And come and try to save you   
 Oh, who will you share your story with and laugh and say 
 「あの時はまじでもう死ぬかと思ったよね」 
 ‘Cause I find beauty in times like these 
 And I find music in things like that 
 So I'm gonna start my engine 
 どこにでも行けそうだ in the middle of the night   
 ‘Cause I find beauty in times like these 
 And I find music in things like that 
 For whom would you start your engine 
 And leave the comfort of your bed in the middle of the night?
