Sunshine Riptide

(album: M A N I A - 2018)

I don't even have my own attention
You say, "Please don't ever change," but you
Don't like me the way I am, the sign says "Don't you tap the
Glass," but I read it in reverse: "eht pat uoy t'nod syas ngis ehT"

The world tried to burn all the mercy out of me, but you know I
Wouldn't let it, it tried to teach me the hard way, I can't forget it
Driving down the coast again
The pills are kicking in, the pills are kicking in

She said, "I love you 'til I don't"
I am just playing house, no idea what I'm doing now
There are no atheists in foxholes
The pressure's getting to me, it's time to throw in the towel

'Cause I'm stuck in the sunshine riptide
Dancing all alone in the morning light
The sunshine riptide
You came back like a wave when I was feeling alright, the sunshine

Call me Oluwaburna, I fell in love, but I didn't fall down
Them say me nah normal, drink Hennessy, me nah drink water
Make me stumble pon me Air Jordan
Ain't no slowing down, know I keep it rolling now
Smoking in my fucking brain, passing through my fucking mind
Feel like I'm bulletproof, bulletproof, baby
With the sun shining through, got the blunt and the juice, cruise
Riding through the

The sunshine riptide
Dancing all alone in the morning light
The sunshine riptide
You came back like a wave when I was feeling alright

Sun, sun, sun
Sun, sun, sun (I-I'm stuck in...)
Sun, sun, sun
Sun, sun

You are my truest feeling yet
I love you so much, it's just like oxygen
And it's going to my head
A public meltdown, petulant, but irreverent

Take all your possibilities then take away the limits
Take your ideas and throw away all the gimmicks
I do the best with what I have
The pills are kicking in, the pills are kicking in

'Cause I'm stuck in the sunshine riptide
Dancing all alone in the morning light
The sunshine riptide (The sunshine)
You came back like a wave when I was feeling al (-right)
I'm stuck in the sunshine riptide
Dancing all alone in the morning light
The sunshine riptide (The sunshine)
You came back like a wave when I was feeling al (-right)

Sun, sun, sun
Sun, sun, sun (I-I'm stuck in...)
Sun, sun, sun
Sun, sun (I-I'm stuck in...)
