[Verse 1]

The memories don't fade

Surprisin' fate for days

You elegantly wasted

Before you lost your spark

Took acid in the park

While livin' in a basement


[Pre-Chorus]

Now is it strange I can't connect?

It isn't strange, but I could check

Walked around to where we kept the box of wires, and lately


[Chorus]

I know once it's lost it's never found

I need it now

The grid is buried in the ground

Hopelessly down


[Post-Chorus]

I know once it's lost it's never found

I need it now

The grid is buried in the cloud

Let me the chown


[Verse 2]

I read the parking rules

As Amsterdam unspooled

And trucks sped on ephedrine

The things we used to see

The sandhogs in the street

The chickens in her bedroom


[Pre-Chorus]

Now is it strange I can't connect?

It isn't strange, but I could check

Walked around to where we met the first time, overwhelmed, and


[Chorus]

I know once it's lost it's never found

I need it now

The grid is buried in the ground

Hopelessly down


[Verse 3]

A country house in June

It's happenin' too soon

Your book of Revelations

We can't unmake the bed

Can't use the chair instead

And called it a vacation


[Pre-Chorus]

Now is it strange I can't connect?

It isn't strange, but I could check

Walked around to go back to sleep of rooms, lately


[Chorus]

I know once it's lost it's never found

I need it now

The grid is buried in the ground

Hopelessly down


[Instrumental Bridge]


[Outro]

The grid is buried in the ground

Hopelessly down
