Your hand on my sleeve
Like salt on a cut
I said let it go
You said not yet, not us
The room stayed still
But the tide in me moved
Every time I backed off
You came back in blue
And I swore I was done
At the edge of the bay
But your name on my tongue
Pulls the words away
I feel that current
Under every line
One step from the shore
And I lose my mind
Tide, tide, take me back
Pull me under slow
Tide, tide, take me back
You already know
We keep running from
What keeps calling us
Tide, tide, take me back
I don't fight it much
I left with wet sleeves
And a throat full of rain
You stayed by the dock
Like you knew my name
I tried to be stone
You were foam in my hands
The harder I held on
The less I could stand
And I swore I was done
At the edge of the bay
But your name on my tongue
Pulls the words away
I feel that current
Under every line
One step from the shore
And I lose my mind
Tide, tide, take me back
Pull me under slow
Tide, tide, take me back
You already know
We keep running from
What keeps calling us
Tide, tide, take me back
I don't fight it much
Maybe love is a wave
With our fingerprints in it
Maybe we were never
Built to outswim this
If I reach for you now
Will you reach back too
Or let the whole dark water
Choose what we do
My fear was a buoy
Your fear was a wreck
We drifted together
Then split from the deck
But the moon kept leaning
On the skin of the sea
And every hard promise
Broke open in me
Tide, tide, take me back
Pull me under slow
Tide, tide, take me back
Let the shoreline go
We keep running from
What keeps calling us
Tide, tide, take me back
I don't fight it much
Tide, tide, take me back
Tide, tide, take me back
