[Verse 1]
They say a king ain’t a king without his rubies and gold
But I know kings with little things and by god does he have it all
It’s not in dimes that defines the way a man should show his love
Take the time to read between the lines

[Pre]
Because Rome wasn’t built in a day
And patience is the only way

[Chorus]
This is the age of the lost and the found
And now raise a glass to those who choose to live without
And don’t need no king for a castle or a ticket to the stars
So close your eyes and know how lucky you are
So close your eyes and know how lucky you are

[Verse 2]
Now that we’ve sung and you know you’re not the only one to see behind the truth
The ceremonial dispute of love and hate and war and games
Before them white horses come galloping, you’re battling
Don’t forget to read between the lines

[Pre]
Because Rome wasn’t built in a day
And patience is the only way

[Chorus]
This is the age of the lost and the found
And now raise a glass to those who choose to live without
And don’t need no king for a castle or a ticket to the stars
So close your eyes and know how lucky you are
So close your eyes and know how lucky you are

[Outro]
This is the age, this is the age
This is the age, this is the age
So close your eyes and know how lucky you are

[Verse 1]
I've had a long day of it
Walking home hands in pockets, wishing on stars that I can't see
I watch all you city dreamers, left hometown believers
Looking down at the ground like me

[Pre-Chorus]
We're all lonely people, lonely people, alone
Going in circles, going wherever the wind blows and it blows

[Chorus]
But I'm lighting matches
Making a shelter for a flame til' fire catches
Stay in the dark another day
I wanna know, will it all get better?
Are we alone? Or are we lost together?
Are we lost together?
Are we lost together?

[Verse 2]
So I lift my eyes up, let conversation light up
It feels like I've known you for time
Tell me which piece of you is missing
We all got parts need fixing
It's just the catch of being alive

[Pre-Chorus]
We're all lonely people, lonely people, alone
Going in circles, going wherever the wind blows and it blows

[Chorus]
But I'm lighting matches
Making a shelter for a flame til' fire catches
Stay in the dark another day
I wanna know, will it all get better?
Are we alone? Or are we lost together?
Are we lost together?
Are we lost together?

[Bridge]
And I won't strike out
And I won't let it burn out
Can't make this puzzle with a piece that doesn't fit
There must be something more than this

[Chorus]
But I'm lighting matches
Making a shelter for a flame til' fire catches
Stay in the dark another day
I wanna know, will it all get better?
Are we alone? Or are we lost together?
Are we lost together?
Are we lost together?
