Riptide Lyrics

As your face fades in the distance

A result of naive resistance

On purpose children get lost in existence

I can hardly believe your persistence

And I stop to watch the commotion

Each drowning a drop in the ocean

Who taught us to trust our emotions?

They've got the best of me

But I swim in this riptide

To give in I would join the fool

Without you it won't be fine

I'm drifting where the currents please

As I fight to keep from retreating

My voice is slowly depleting

Heroes are singing like nobody's leaving

Their faces are oh so misleading

And I run to stop the commotion

One final attempt at devotion

Who taught us to live without motion?

That's not who I wanna be

So I swim in this riptide

Not giving in to what the fool would do

Wherever you go, it'll be fine

Without you, oh without you

I don't know my right hand from my left hand's shadow

Time won't heal all wounds here if we drown ourselves
