Lyrics
[verse]
Every day I pass her on the sidewalk
Never found the courage in my chest
In my mind we're already together
Walking down the aisle, dressed in our best
[verse]
In my mind I've built us a whole cottage
Painted every wall a different hue
In my mind she's asked me to come closer
None of it is anywhere near true
[chorus]
It's only a picture I keep painting in my head
Only a story that I tell myself instead
I keep building castles in the clouds
While she doesn't even know my name out loud
[verse]
Someday soon I'll gather up the courage
Someday soon I'll cross this empty street
But until that day my mind keeps wandering
Living out a love that we ain't gotten to yet
[bridge]
Soon, soon, I'll find the reason
Soon, soon, I'll say hello
Till then I'll keep on dreaming
Of a love only my heart could know
[chorus]
It's only a picture I keep painting in my head
Only a story that I tell myself instead
I keep building castles in the clouds
While she doesn't even know my name out loud
