Ever wondered why this life's so short?
Ever took a chance and failed to fall?
People can't get on long enough to survive
Ever asked a question not knowing why?
Ever lived a dream by telling lies?
People can't get on long enough to survive

Someone said they'd catch me just before the high tide
But they were busy chasing life's rollercoaster ride
Someone promised they'd love me, just before they died
But they were busy chasing life's rollercoaster ride
Life's rollercoaster ride

Break out a storm against your wall
Tear up your room in a chaotic ball
People can save you long enough to survive
Call out your mum to clear your debts
Ask for your friends to fix your mess
People can save you long enough to survive

Someone said they'd catch me just before the high tide
But they were busy chasing life's rollercoaster ride
Someone promised they'd love me, just before they died
But they were busy chasing life's rollercoaster ride
Life's rollercoaster ride

Don't turn your back on what you've ever had
Don't wake up something that makes you sad
Wipe your memory away from those eyes
Don't ask the gate why it opened up
