Lyrics
You built it up high and you built it up fast
You constructed something significant and quickly.
The image in your mind, it was meant to last
The mental image you had was intended to endure.
You started planning for a future next to me
You began making plans for a future with me.
Started building up a castle made of dreams
You started building a dream castle.
You told me one time you had a tendency
You mentioned having a habit of seeking love to define yourself.
To look for love to define your identity
Looking into the eyes of a man still searching for stability.
But I'm staring in the eyes of a wondering man
Witnessing uncertainty in your gaze.
Still searching for a home on shifting sand
Continuing to search for a home on unstable ground.
But it's not safe, love, to give your heart away, love
Warning that giving your heart without caution is risky.
Without any second thought, in so deep that you get lost
Advising against getting deeply involved without careful consideration.
Please don't rush, love, you gotta have patience
Encouraging patience in matters of love.
It takes time to build something that won't break, love
Emphasizing the time required to build something lasting.
When the waves come
Anticipating challenges or difficulties.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Expression of affirmation or agreement.
When the waves come
Repetition of affirmation or agreement.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Reiteration of affirmation or agreement.
You say you're ready to care for someone else
Stating readiness to care for someone else.
But you can't love another 'til you love yourself
Highlighting the importance of self-love before loving others.
You don't have to change everything about who you are
Assuring that changing oneself entirely is unnecessary.
To be everything somebody's looking for
Being everything someone is searching for without losing oneself.
But it's not safe, love, to give your heart away, love
Reiteration of the risk in hastily giving away one's heart.
Without any second thought, in so deep that you get lost
Warning against deep involvement without careful consideration.
Please don't rush, love, you gotta have patience
Encouraging patience in matters of love.
It takes time to build something that won't break, love
Emphasizing the time required to build something lasting.
When the waves come
Anticipating challenges or difficulties.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Expression of affirmation or agreement.
When the waves come
Repetition of affirmation or agreement.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Reiteration of affirmation or agreement.
When the waves come crashing onto the shore
When faced with challenges, you'll emerge stronger.
You'll be stronger than before
After overcoming difficulties, you'll be more resilient.
