From lead singer Trenton Woodley:
As a kid growing up in Canberra, the closest swimming hole was a relatively shallow river called the Murrumbidgee. I used to play in the rocky rapids, building dams with river stones to try and stop the flow of the river. There were never enough stones or hours in...
[Verse 1]
Piling stones to guide the sea
To say we stopped the tide
But we, we never did, did we?
We never did, did we?
[Pre-Chorus]
We built as only children know to build
We made a way where there’s a will
No slowing down or standing still
Innocent and reckless
[Chorus]
How did we get so old and never notice?
How did we gain the world and lose the moment?
Rise and fall; the tide surrounds us
And drowns us all
[Verse 2]
Finding the cracks in our intent
We can't stop the water from rushing in
We can't stop the walls collapsing in
From rocks into reign and to ruin again
[Pre-Chorus]
We built as only children know to build
We made a way where there’s a will
Innocent and reckless
[Chorus]
How did we get so old and never notice?
How did we gain the world and lose the moment?
Rise and fall; the tide surrounds us
And drowns us all
[Bridge]
Watching the years, all washed away
Scattered stones all that remains
A kingdom swallowed by the sea
(Innocent and reckless)
(Innocent and reckless)
[Chorus]
How did we get so old and never notice?
How did we gain the world and lose the moment?
Rise and fall; the tide surrounds us
And drowns us all
How did we get so old and never notice?
How did we gain the world and lose the moment?
Rise and fall; the tide surrounds us
And guides us all
