Oh, rocks, I got lots of them, they keep throwing and missing me

Said I've been building castles, oh, since I was seventeen

Lord knows I still ain't rich and I wear the same old jeans

But the rocks that they keep throwing are the ones that build my dreams

The rocks that they keep throwing are the ones that build my dreams, yeah

The rocks that they keep throwing are the ones that build my dreams, yeah

I could barely sing but I could strum a couple chords

Met some dudes from out of town, shotgun the couch, swept up the floors

Couldn't afford a studio so I used all my student loans

Turned the attic into a starship but I call it home

So we don't rent shit, oh no, we buy and we build

My scars close but left behind something real in California

Yeah, she's stolen the only key that cuts me open

Oh, rocks, I got lots of them, they keep throwing and missing me

Said I've been building castles, oh, since I was seventeen

Lord knows I still ain't rich and I wear the same old jeans

But the rocks that they keep throwing are the ones that build my dreams

The rocks that they keep throwing are the ones that build my dreams, yeah

The rocks that they keep throwing are the ones that build my dreams, yeah

Been working no pay for a year, now you want in

That shit's funny to me

Turning negative to a positive like it's not there

Hit the ground running

'Cause I remember how it started out

People sleeping on the couch

Up in the studio till the late a.m.

Both neighbors wanted me out

Oh, rocks, I got lots of them

But they wanna see me drowning

My head's above the water

Her head's above average

I know it ain't easy to save face

And we come form the same place

I wish you were here but our time has passed

Now I'm so far away

Oh, rocks, I got lots of them, they keep throwing and missing me

Said I've been building castles, oh, since I was seventeen

Lord knows I still ain't rich and I wear the same old jeans

But the rocks that they keep throwing are the ones that build my dreams

The rocks that they keep throwing are the ones that build my dreams, yeah

The rocks that they keep throwing are the ones that build my dreams, yeah

The rocks that they keep throwing are the ones that build my dreams, yeah
