Diana Degarmo - Cardboard Castles lyrics

She was a rainbow once

So colorful but that was once

Now that's impossible to see, to see

With a voice subliminal

It's the only sign she's beautiful

Here's all that's left of her dignity

She goes yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah yeah

There's a girl in New York City

Skylines no longer pretty

Bound to destination anywhere

She grew up in California

Big dreams, they tend to own you there

Now she's building cardboard castles in the air

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

He was a pretty boy

Rolling cash his only joy

Now that's impossible to see, to see

Used to be one of them

Now the men in suits are avoiding him

He's lost his credit cards

But, hey, he's free

There's a man in New York City

Skylines no longer pretty

Bound, for destination anywhere

Had the whole world at his window

It seems so long ago from there

Now he's building cardboard castles in the air

Does anybody know?

Does anybody care?

Over here, over there

Building cardboard castles in the air

There's a girl in New York City

Skylines no longer pretty

Bound to destination anywhere

She grew up in California

Big dreams, they tend to own you there

Now she's building cardboard castles in the air

Yeah, yeah, yeah

There's a girl in New York City

Skylines no longer pretty

Bound to destination anywhere

She grew up in California

Big dreams, they tend to own you there

Now she's building cardboard castles in the air

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
