Take a breath; take a long look around
Before you step
'Cause the tide is coming
Swallowing the ground-
And there's no way to tell if we will drown tonight
Or we'll be found tonight
Come in close; if the current gets us
Then it gets us both
And we can't wait here anymore
So if the waves come, let 'em take us
As they cover you and me, and they pull us underneath
I hope that fate will forgive us for tempting the sea
I hope that they won't forget us
But we can't go back to the way it used to be
Take it in; take a good look at
What it might have been.
As we're swept into the water from the shore
Because there's no way they can tell us that we can't have more
Because we can have more
As the waves come, let 'em take us
As they cover you and me, and they pull us underneath
I hope that fate will forgive us for tempting the sea
I hope that they won't forget us
No we can't go back to the way it used to be
So certain, where it would take us
So sure that we were never lost;
To notice whether we'll be drowned tonight or found tonight
So as the waves come, let 'em take us
As they cover you and me, and they pull us underneath
It takes the shape of who will save us
When it leaves it's hard to know
But I will not let you go
I hope that fate will forgive us for tempting the sea
I hope that they won't forget us
No we can't go back to the way it used to be
I hope that they won't forget us
No we can't go back to the way it used to be
