You’re living for the sunshine
For passion and young love
But you can’t hear the thunder
Menacing above.
You can’t see the sky
Darkening tonight
For in your rosy world
Everything is light.
Throw all heed away
As long as it feels good,
Never mind advice
It’s just a bunch of “shoulds.”
The world is yours to grasp
And you reach out your hand,
But alas, the ground beneath
It is only sand.
You awake to find
Your castle’s washed away
And all that’s left for you
Another empty day.
