Lyrics
Riptide
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been swimming against the stream
Keeping the shore close at hand
Safe in the shallows
Never far from land
But now the water's washing over me
I'm caught in the riptide
And I can't fight the sea
I can't fight the sea...
Water, will you wash me clean?
Water, will you drag me deep?
To places deep inside my heart
Beyond my wildest dreams
But now the water's washing over me
I'm caught in the riptide
And I can't fight the sea
I can't fight the sea...
The pull, the push
The rush, the race
Take me to another place
The pull, the push
The run, the roar
Take me to another shore
