Roll Tide

I'm sad about the messages you're sending

I'm sad about the shit we're doing wrong

I'm sad about the never-ending love we're in

We keep pissing on the fire, but it keeps burning so strong

Can we both just say "I love you," and get it on?

Your boy from Birmingham seems nice enough to me

But unqualified for you, and your heavy vibes

He doesn't know the troubled story that he's written himself into

He doesn't know he's just a place for you to hide

You wanna tell him "Best of luck, man

Roll Tide"

Roll Tide

It can't be easier to swim, when the water's high

Roll Tide

When what we want the most has us terrified

Roll Tide

If we don't want to let go, then we have to fight

Roll Tide

Roll Tide

I'm asking now for reconciliation

I'm asking now for what we have to say

I'm asking now for both of us to do a little changing

I wanna dance with you forever, in this quantum cabaret

If we just allow ourselves, it'll be okay

I close my eyes sometimes, now, when I'm driving

To feel the lack of distance between our sides

To see the orange and purple glow of our two flames

To take my weary self out for a ride

To tell myself, "Hang in, man

Roll Tide"

Roll Tide

It can't be easier to swim, when the water's high

Roll Tide

When what we want the most has us terrified

Roll Tide

If we don't want to let go, we have to fight

And if we can't let go, then we have to try

Roll Tide
