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 cannot 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 cannot 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 cannot go back to the way it used to be I hope that they won't forget us- No we cannot go back to the way it used to be
