Castles In The Air Lyrics

I lay awake night after night
Wondering why I have so much
I'm riding my camel, approaching the eye
My cloak becomes harder to give

Can't you hear them screaming
"please just save us from this mess"
And you turn your back and tell yourself
"none of this is making sense"
And if I could build castles in the air
I would keep them safe straight on 'till morning

We're so caught and tied up
In things that we like to call problems
That we can't even see
Our own sisters and brothers
Who have nothing at all

Can't you hear them screaming
"please just save us from this mess"
And you turn your back and tell yourself
"none of this is making sense"
And if I could build castles in the air
I would keep them safe straight on 'till morning

I don't expect
I don't expect you to understand
I don't expect
(and all I've ever wanted was
To see them breathe the air)

Can't you hear them screaming
"please just save us from this mess"
And you turn your back and tell yourself
"none of this is making sense"
And if I could build castles in the air
I would keep them safe straight on 'till morning

I lay awake night after night
Wondering why I have so much
I'm riding my camel, approaching the eye
My cloak becomes harder to give

Can't you hear them screaming
"please just save us from this mess"
And you turn your back and tell yourself
"none of this is making sense"
And if I could build castles in the air
I would keep them safe straight on 'till morning

We're so caught and tied up
In things that we like to call problems
That we can't even see
Our own sisters and brothers
Who have nothing at all

Can't you hear them screaming
"please just save us from this mess"
And you turn your back and tell yourself
"none of this is making sense"
And if I could build castles in the air
I would keep them safe straight on 'till morning

I don't expect
I don't expect you to understand
I don't expect
(and all I've ever wanted was
To see them breathe the air)

Can't you hear them screaming
"please just save us from this mess"
And you turn your back and tell yourself
"none of this is making sense"
And if I could build castles in the air
I would keep them safe straight on 'till morning

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
