## Lyrics

* Demo version

**[Verse 1]**

There's a boy on a bike with a spike in his hair

And he's laughing at me

There's a lady in white leaning back in her chair

And she's going to sleep

**[Verse 2]**

There's a hole in the road I can never avoid

I fall infinitely

If I ever wake up, I'm gonna be a man

I swear I'll never grow weak

**[Pre-Chorus]**

I just forgot that one song that you played

(The melody still sounds the same)

I almost didn't mind the memories fading slowly

**[Chorus]**

And it takes a lifetime to find the love of your life

(To find thе love, to find the love)

And it takеs a minute for that love to die

(That love to die, that love to die)

Everything gets lost in a rising tide

**[Verse 3]**

All my anger inside festered without light

Turned into a disease

I just wanted the prize, wanted to be right

I just wanted to please you

**[Pre-Chorus]**

I thought that I could understand your pain

(The melody still sounds the same)

I know you didn't mind the memories fading slowly

**[Chorus]**

And it takes a lifetime to find the love of your life

(To find the love, to find the love)

And it takes a minute for that love to die

(That love to die, that love to die)

Everything gets lost in a rising tide

Everything gets lost in a rising tide

**[Bridge]**

There's a line in my eye

With my grandmother's guilt

I used to run on the playground

Wishing for a reason to cry

'Cause I felt it in my heart

There's scar tissue inside

Where the rake used to rip

I live under the ice sometimes

When I need nothing at all

Why does everybody watch?

**[Verse 4]**

And the pain keeps coming and then going away

And the nights get longer but so does the day

And the pain keeps coming and then going away

And the nights get longer but so does the day, ah-ah

**[Outro]**

Everything gets lost in a rising tide

(To find the love, to find the love)

Everything gets lost in a rising tide

(That love to die, that love to die)

Everything gets lost

(To find the love, to find the love)

Everything gets lost

(That love to die, that love to die)

(To find the love, to find the love)

(That love to die, that love to die)

Everything gets lost in a rising tide

Everything gets lost in a rising tide

**[Verse 1]**

There's a boy on a bike with a spike in his hair

And he's laughing at me

There's a lady in white leaning back in a chair

And she's going to sleep

**[Pre-Chorus]**

I just forgot that one song that you played

(The melody still sounds the same)

I almost didn't mind the memories fading slowly

**[Chorus]**

And it takes a lifetime to find the love of your life

(To find the love, to find the love)

And it takes a minute for that love to die

(That love to die, that love to die)

Everything gets lost in a rising tide

**[Verse 2]**

Therе's a son in the yard trying to be like his dad

Hе's not good with his hands

There's a person named Jules but their name should be Joe

Up against different plans

**[Pre-Chorus]**

I just forgot that one song that you played

(The melody still sounds the same)

I almost didn't mind the memories fading slowly

**[Chorus]**

And it takes a lifetime to find the love of your life

(To find the love, to find the love)

And it takes a minute for that love to die

(That love to die, that love to die)

Everything gets lost in a rising tide

Everything gets lost in a rising tide

**[Outro]**

And the paint is coming and then going away

And the nights get longer but so is the day
