[Verse]
I wake before the sun can yawn
Chasing dreams I don't belong
Bills pile up like leaves in fall
And I try
Oh I try
[Prechorus]
The weight of the world on my hands
Feels like I'm building on sinking sands
[Chorus]
I do everything I can
But it feels like nothing stands
I'm a castle in the tide
Just a man who’s tried and tried
I do everything I can
Still
It slips through like the sand
[Verse 2]
Little hands that tug my sleeve
Big eyes that see what I can’t see
A laugh that cuts right through my doubt
But I’m breaking
Breaking out
[Prechorus]
Their smiles are the stars I chase
Yet I’m lost in this endless race
[Chorus]
I do everything I can
But it feels like nothing stands
I'm a castle in the tide
Just a man who’s tried and tried
I do everything I can
Still
It slips through like the sand
