Riptide from Black Mountain by The Vinelings

RIPTIDE

The weight of the waves pull me under
the sound of your words never came
in silence, alone, I misunderstood
as my tears fell down like pouring rain

See me go down way past the breaker
faster, then slow, faster still
I swim too far out in your ocean
with no one to save me from myself

I know that I’m too impatient
I can’t just wait for you to show
I go too fast when I step on the gas
slip and then spin and break and fall down and crash

Say that you will see me tomorrow
I know that that just means no
I’d rather drown by the seaside
Caught way too far out in your riptide

The weight of the waves pull me down under
the sound of your voice never came
in silence, alone, I misunderstood
as my tears fell down like pouring rain

See me go down way past the breaker
faster, then slow, faster still
I’d rather drown by the seaside
caught way too far out in your riptide

Caught way too far out
Caught way too far out, in
Caught way too far out
Caught way too far out, in
