I know that I shouldn't care for you I know I should push you from the nest and beg you to fly But I am here for you, I know in my heart I won't leave I'll bring you food and water, I'll protect you from the slaughter No conditions, no limits, not from me They say that boats don't belong in the harbor But I've learned to sail in the sand You know it's just pretend, but I have built castles here I know my way around, I've dug a moat to trap the fear My castles, they melt in the water Nevertheless, I've had sips I can taste it, I can reach out, I can graze it Just barely, I can feel it at my fingertips I'll tell you everything that's going on I'll tell you about the world so you don't have to face it And despite your vague objections, let's pretend that it's protection Lonely means safe, just embrace it It's conscious and scary, this battle, I'm very Concerned that I might never win Medication, meditation, all the steps that I'm takin' Some days I don't know where they're leadin' My castles, they melt in the water Nevertheless, I've had sips I can taste it, I can reach out, I can graze it Just barely, I can feel it at my fingertips Introverted quiet smart girl - you sat next to her in math She gets her work done, faster than everyone But it's because she doesn't chat Her castles, they melt in the water Nevertheless, she's had sips She can taste it, she can reach out, she can graze it Just barely, she can feel it at her fingertips He overthinks, and by the time he has something to say The relevant topic is miles away He cares too much about what other people think And he is much better with paper and ink When there's time to revise and to think Because even on his good days, he's hesitant to speak His castles, they melt in the water Nevertheless, he's had sips He can taste it, he can reach out, he can graze it Just barely, he can feel it at his fingertips You'd love to exude lots of kindness and sunlight But you just don't have the energy, to always be bright When it's rare that you talk, then the things you do say Must be perfect, must be worth it, must last you through the day Your castles, they melt in the water Nevertheless, you've had sips You can taste it, you can reach out, you can graze it Just barely, you can feel it at your fingertips They may or may not show you a piece of their mind But if you do see inside, you will probably find They want to know if you're nice out of respect or out of pity They've got all of these thoughts in their mouth; they just don't reach the air Their castles, they melt in the water Nevertheless, they've had sips They can taste it, they can reach out, they can graze it Just barely, they can feel it at their fingertips And depending on the timing and the trust and the day They may or may not want to give it away But if you catch them at a good time, they might say I don't like my default Because my default isn't me I don't like the way I am It isn't who I want to be I don't like my default 'Cause my default isn't me I don't like the way I am It isn't who I want to be Our castles, they melt in the water Nevertheless, we've had sips We can taste it, we can reach out, we can graze it Just barely, we can feel it at our fingertips Our castles, they melt in the water Nevertheless, we've had sips We can taste it, we can reach out, we can graze it Just barely, we can feel it at our fingertips
