I don't really wanna live
Bearing something I can't let go of
Can't let go of
And I don't really wanna live
Chasin' something I can't catch hold of
Can' catch hold of
I, I was caught in a wave
And I, I thought nothing would change
But right then
Baby, baby you have found me
Hangin' on for dear life, dear life
But right then
Baby, baby you have found me
Caught inside a riptide
And I am barely living life
Drownin' on my own, I
Can't let go, I can't let go
And I don't really wanna fight
Crashin' on the inside
Oh. I can't let, can't let go
I, I was caught in a wave
And I, I thought nothing would change
But right then
Baby, baby you have found me
Hangin' on for dear life, dear life
But right then
Baby, baby you have found me
Caught inside a riptide
Pullin' me out, pullin' me out, pullin' me out
I said na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
For dear life
Oh baby I was dying
So you just keep holdin on
And holdin' on and don't let go
Oh baby, I been tryin'
So you just keep holdin on
And holdin' on and don't let go
Don't you let you go
And I don't really wanna live
Bearing something I can't let go of
Baby, baby you have found me
Hangin' on for dear life, dear life
But right then
Baby, baby you have found me
Caught inside a riptide
Pullin' me out, pullin' me out, pullin' me out
I said na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
For dear life
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
For dear life
Oh, baby
Baby, you have found me, yeah
For dear life
Oh, baby
Caught inside a riptide, yeah
For dear life

Na-na-na-na-na-na
For dear life
Riptide
Oh, baby
Baby, you have found me, yeah
Oh, baby
Baby, you have found me, yeah
