Lyrics

Yesterday is eating up my mind
You and me we couldn't get it right
We were throwing memories in the air
Bits and pieces lying everywhere

Uh-uh-uh-uuh
Bits and pieces lying everywhere
Uh-uh-uh-uuh
Bits and pieces like we didn't care

Shouldn't be so hard
Like breathing under water
Baby, we've been in the blue
Didn't see it coming
Falling into nothing
Ain't there something we can do

Uh-uh-uh-uuh
I can feel you slipping through my hands
Uh-uh-uh-uuh
Guess we built a castle out of sand

Yesterday I had you by my side
Now we're just like strangers in the night
Pictures of us lying on the floor
No, I can't do this fighting anymore

Cause it shouldn't be so hard
Like breathing under water
Baby, we've been in the blue
Didn't see it coming
Falling into nothing
Ain't there something we can do

Uh-uh-uh-uuh
I can feel you slipping through my hands
Uh-uh-uh-uuh
Guess we built a castle out of sand

Sand,
Sand
I can feel you slipping through my hands
Sand,
Sand,
Guess we built a castle out of sand

Shouldn't be so hard
Like breathing underwater

Shouldn't be so hard
Like breathing underwater
Uh-uh-uh-uuh yeaaa

Sand,
Sand,
I can feel you slipping through my hands
Sand,
Sand
Guess we built a castle out of sand
