That idea can be comforting
when you think about what life demands
don't imagine what's on the other side
Cause you've got both of your feet
stuck down in the snad

And it hits me like high tide...
a slow relentless battle
I watched the water slide
through my hands.
Love's battle, love's battle
push and pull, push and pull
me in.

We cannot cross this expanse together
and we can't cross alone
I don't want to hear your voice chilling me
Like ocean winds chill my bones

And the moon controls the shoreline
Like my heart controls my head
I pushed and pulled our love apart
Thinking about what you said.

You said "it hit me like high tide...
a slow relentless battle.
I watched the water slide
through my hands."

I let you slide through my hands,
slide through my hands,
slide through my hands, push and pull.

I let you slide through my hands,
slide through my hands,
slide through my hands,
push and pull.

(repeat)
