I keep my coat by the door
Like I might leave in a storm
I fold my words into knots
So they don't come out warm
You stand there, soaked in the truth
Like you already knew
I look away at the sink
Like water does when it's blue
Say it soft
Say it slow
If I lean in
Will I go?
My hands shake
My chest burns
We keep the edge
Then still return
It's like the tide, baby
It's like the tide, baby
Pulls me back again
Pulls me back again
I fight the sea
I still give in
I can't stay dry
I can't stay dry
It's like the tide
It's like the tide
I tell myself not tonight
Not with your name on my mouth
But every silence you make
Feels like the whole room goes south
I leave a glass by the edge
Like a dare to the dark
You leave your jacket on mine
And it tears me apart
Say it plain
Say it now
If we touch
We won't drown
My heart breaks
Then mends
We keep coming
Back again
It's like the tide, baby
It's like the tide, baby
Pulls me back again
Pulls me back again
I fight the sea
I still give in
I can't stay dry
I can't stay dry
It's like the tide
It's like the tide
I tried to be stone
I tried to be shore
You came in slow
I came back for more
We were all fire
We were all flood
Now every wall
Turns into mud
It's like the tide, baby
It's like the tide, baby
No use holding on
No use holding on
We bend and break
Then we return
To your salt and mine
To your salt and mine
It's like the tide
It's like the tide
I can't resist it
I can't resist it
I let it in
I let it in
It's like the tide
It's like the tide
