Rising Tide

There’s a boy on a bike with a spike in his hair
And he’s laughing at me
There’s a lady in white leaning back in her chair
And she’s going to sleep

There’s a hole in the road I can never avoid
I fall infinitely
If I ever wake up, I’m gonna be a man
I swear I’ll never grow weak

I just forgot that one song that you played
(The melody still sounds the same)
I almost didn’t mind the memories fading slowly

And it takes a lifetime to find the love of your life
(To find the love, to find the love)
And it takes a minute for that love to die
(That love to die, that love to die)
Everything gets lost in a rising tide

All my anger inside festered without light
Turned into a disease
I just wanted the prize, wanted to be right
I just wanted to please you

I thought that I could understand your pain
(The melody still sounds the same)
I know you didn’t mind the memories fading slowly
And it takes a lifetime to find the love of your life
(To find the love, to find the love)
And it takes a minute for that love to die

(That love to die, that love to die)
Everything gets lost in a rising tide
Everything gets lost in a rising tide
There’s a line in my eye with my grandmother’s guilt

I used to run on the playground wishing for a reason to cry
‘Cause I felt it in my heart
There’s scar tissue inside where the rake used to rip
I live under the ice sometimes when I need nothing at all
Why does everybody watch?

And the pain keeps comin’ and then goin’ away
And the nights get longer but so does the day
And the pain keeps comin’ and then goin’ away
And the nights get longer but so does the day, ah

Everything gets lost in a rising tide
(To find the love, to find the love)
Everything gets lost in a rising tide
(That love to die, that love to die)

Everything gets lost
(To find the love, to find the love)
Everything gets lost, oh
(That love to die, that love to die)
Ah

(To find the love, to find the love)
(That love to die, that love to die)
Everything gets lost in a rising tide
Everything gets lost in a rising tide
