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.
Where will you go when it's over?
How will you know when it's over?
I know, yeah, I saw you, you know that, right?
Just know that I saw you (I saw you, I saw, I saw)
Where will you go when it's over?
Do you get lost on your own?
I know, yeah, I saw you, you know that, right?
Just know that I saw you (I saw you, I saw, I saw)
Late night, zip ties
Make you want to miss your flight
Flipping through your feelings like a gemini
I'm staring at your dark side
So far, so gone
Standing with a white dress on
Only say you need me when your friends gone home
You're tryna get your mind right
But if I only get one life, this is what I wanna do
And if I only get one life, I wanna live it with you
And if I only had one night, yeah, I'd spend it with you
So if I only get one life, I wanna live it with you
I'm gonna live it with you
Say something like
(It's only you)
It's only you
New wave, riptide
Hoping I can change your life
If you need a second chance, you can take mine
See you in a new light (see you in a new—)
Skintight, cocaine
You don't wanna feel this way
You know I'd do anything to make you stay
I'm pulling all my best lines
But if I only get one life, this is what I wanna do
And if I only get one life, I wanna live it with you
And if I only had one night, yeah, I'd spend it with you
So if I only get one life, I wanna live it with you
Say something like
It's only you
It's only you
Say something like
It’s only you
It’s only you
Where will you go when it's over?
How will you know when it's over?
I know, yeah, I saw you, you know that, right?
Just know that I saw you (I saw you, I saw, I saw)
