The Tide

(album: Balance - 2019)

To sink or swim, the eternal debate
Out on a limb, better carry the weight
Out of line, out of breath
Stuck inside my head

And I'm still here, waiting for my wave
Upstream, always against the grain
So far from shore
I can't swim anymore

I'm caught up in the tide
Living on borrowed time
The current's shifting
Ignored the signs but now I'm listening

Keep my composure
When it all comes crashing down
Out of line, out of breath
Stuck inside my head

So far from shore
I can't swim anymore

I'm caught up in the tide
Living on borrowed time
The current's shifting
Ignored the signs but now I'm listening
I'm caught up in the tide
I'm running out, running out of time
Alone and distant, afraid and drifting
Ignored the signs but now I'm listening

Tough it out just a little longer
Keep my head right above the water
Feel it all
Rise and fall
Just a little longer
Just a little longer
Feel it all

When it all comes crashing down

To sink or swim, the eternal debate
Out on a limb, better carry the weight
Gasping for air, can't make a sound
Answer my prayer before I drown
Hold my ground
When it all comes crashing down

I'm caught up in the tide
Living on borrowed time
The current's shifting
Ignored the signs but now I'm listening
I'm caught up in the tide
I'm running out, running out of time
Alone and distant, afraid and drifting
Ignored the signs but now I'm listening

Out of line, out of breath
Stuck inside my head
