The Duke Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Out here in nothin', engulfed by the sea
And there's no one here, except these fishes and me
I think I could die here
Then I'm hit, leveled hard by the rising tide

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm hit hard by the tide
I'm just livid
All alone

[Verse 2]
Sunny, so funny, not funny to me because
I'm bearing the scars from it burning on me
But I feel so revived
Just sittin' here, thinkin'
Then I'm hit hard, really hard by the tide

[Chorus]
I'm hit hard by the tide
I'm just livid
And I'm livin'

[Solo]

[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm hit hard by the tide
I'm livid, livid
Hard by the tide
I'm livin'
All alone

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
