High Tide

I should know it was there, right in front of my eyes
Skeletons and everything
On a blanket of sand, where the creatures had died
Held my breath, oh, what a stink

High up, a riot of cries
All the birds are circling
Sure that the moon will provide
Hoping that he's hurrying

If we hit high tide
The banks are gonna break
The flood comes rushing over
The castles that we made

If we hit high tide
I will let the water
Drag me back into the ocean
Back into the ocean

Thought the wall that we built on the beach would be strong
I tried to make it beautiful
Pulling down tiny stones with my hands, I was wrong
I started my own funeral

It's easy to see it too late
When the waves come crashing in
Trying to plan my escape
Stop myself from drowning

If we hit high tide
The banks are gonna break
The flood comes rushing over
The castles that we made

If we hit high tide
I will let the water
Drag me back into the ocean
Back into the ocean

Deep beneath the sea, I wait
Counting on the current's sway
To pick me up and start again
Does this circle never end?

(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

If we hit high tide
The banks are gonna break
The flood comes rushing over
The castles that we made

If we hit high tide
I will let the water
Drag me back into the ocean
Back into the ocean

(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Back into the ocean
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Back into the ocean
