In a world of paper walls and glue

We built our dreams from scraps we knew

A kingdom held by tape and string

Where cardboard thrones make you a king

But the rain is creeping in

And the walls are getting thin

Cardboard castles won't survive the storm

They bend they break they won't keep you warm

But oh they shine when the sun's in view

A fragile place where dreams come true

We drew the stars on ceiling tiles

Fake galaxies for endless miles

The floor it creaks the paint might peel

But every crack's a secret seal

What if we stay till it all falls down

Till the crown turns back to brown

What if we dance in the pouring rain

Let it wash away the pain

Cardboard castles won't survive the storm

They bend they break they won't keep you warm

But oh they shine when the sun's in view

A fragile place where dreams come true
