Like subtle signs in late september
I feel it slowly slip out of my hands
The faces I can not remember
The forts and castles that no longer stand
Numbers in the sand that fade
Bit by bit with every wave
Bit by bit with every wave
History's erased
Crashing in to clean the slate
Bit by bit with every wave
Bit by bit with every wave
Memories are erased
Time keeps moving quickly
Though I'm standing still
On and on
Here I'm laying still
Suddenly the skies will open
The waterworks that run and never stop
Sometimes things are better left broken
The fix will only highlight what was lost
Screws and nails will rust away
Bit by bit with every wave
Bit by bit with every wave
History's erased
Crashing in to make me break
Bit by bit with every wave
Bit by bit with every wave
Memories are erased
Time keeps moving quickly
Though I'm standing still
On and on
Here I'm laying still
