Lyrics

Intro

Oh oh

Yeah yeah

Chorus

Scars tell a story on my skin

Searching for where I can begin

Building a castle out of sand

Just looking for a helping hand

Looking for a helping hand

Verse 1

Smallest kid in the hallway crowd

The silence screaming far too loud

Trip me up for the laughs

Writing poems while they fail math

Harder than they know

Harder than I show

Pre-Chorus

Broken lockers

Broken mirrors

Broken dreams

Chorus

Scars tell a story on my skin

Searching for where I can begin

Building a castle out of sand

Just looking for a helping hand

Looking for a helping hand

Verse 2

Staring at the phone till my eyes burn out

Living with a ghost and a lot of doubt

Blue light keeps the wolves away

Hoping someone decides to stay

I see the girl in the front row

I watch the girl from the back row

Waiting for the spark

Hiding in the dark

Pre-Chorus

Stronger heartbeats

Stronger courage

Stronger lungs

Chorus

Scars tell a story on my skin

Searching for where I can begin

Building a castle out of sand

Just looking for a helping hand

Looking for a helping hand

Post-Chorus

Carry it

Carry it

Keep on trying

Bridge

Maybe she hears the rhythm of my boots

Maybe she feels the depth of my roots

One glance

One smile

One chance

It takes a minute to change it all

It takes a minute to break the wall

Tear it down

Wash it away

Stand your ground

Today

Chorus

Scars tell a story on my skin

Searching for where I can begin

Building a castle out of sand

Just looking for a helping hand

Looking for a helping hand

Chorus

Scars tell a story on my skin

Searching for where I can begin

Building a castle out of sand

Just looking for a helping hand

Looking for a helping hand

Post-Chorus

Holding on

Holding on

Never gone

Looking for a helping hand
