[Verse 1]
In younger days, our certainties
Are lofty cliffs from which we speak
But live a while and soon you’ll find
They turn to caves in which we hide

[Pre-Chorus]
The words are the same, the meanings change
The world falls away
And drowns you in a pool of empty space

[Chorus]
Day in, day out, the sun goes down
The tide gets high day in, day out
The sirens cry, but they don't make a sound

[Verse 2]
Have I told you? You were right
I may have tried with all my might
To pass my mis’ry off as spite
An eye for an eye, but there’s no “I”

[Pre-Chorus]
In tragedy, it’s hard to see
The sting is sweet
Like waiting to be woken from a dream
[Chorus]
Day in, day out, the sun goes down
The tide gets high day in, day out
The violins slide, but they don't make a sound

[Bridge]
Left with all the information, misery can know no bounds
Searching for an explanation’s a losing game, without a doubt
I’ve lost my way, with nothing found

[Chorus]
Day in, day out, the sun goes down
The tide gets high day in, day out
The church bells chime, but they don't make a sound
