Demo version
An early demo of Lost Boy was released as a prize during the Fall 2020 ARG. Titled Lost Boy v2 (80%), the song is close to its final form, with the overall structure and sound being similar to the final. The main difference is slight changes in instrumentation, which are most notably heard in the chorus and second verse. The chorus is also slightly slower, and there is not a guitar solo prior to the final chorus. All of the vocals are present and are unchanged in the final version.

Lyrics
We were the monsters and fire-breathers
We were the quiet sunrise leavers
You were a good girl, what could I do?
I was a lost boy when I met you
Hold me til I’m not lonely anymore
It’s only the crashing of the ocean to the shore
Because in the dark there are no strangers,
There are no strangers at all
We were the rebels, lone survivors
We were the cult of deep sea divers
We were young once then we grew old
We were shining, we were fool's gold
Hold me till I’m not lonely anymore
It’s only the crashing of the ocean to the shore
Because in the dark there are no strangers,
There are no strangers at all
