Blake Mills - Roll Tide lyrics

I'm sad about the messages you're sending I'm sad about the sh** we're doing wrong I'm sad about the never-ending love we had We keep pissing on the fire, but it keeps burning so strong Can we both just say "I love you," and get it on? Your boy from Birmingham seems nice enough to me But unqualified for you, and your heavy vibes He doesn't know the troubled story that he's written himself into He doesn't know he's just a place for you to hide You wanna tell him "Best of luck, man Roll Tide" Roll Tide It can't be easier to swim, when the water's high Roll Tide When what we want the most has us terrified Roll Tide If we don't want to let go, then we have to fight Roll Tide Roll Tide I'm asking now for reconciliation I'm asking now for what we have to say I'm asking now for both of us to do a little changing I wanna dance with you forever, in this one cabaret If we just allow ourselves, it'll be okay I close my eyes sometimes, now, when I'm driving To feel the lack of distance between our sides To see the orange and purple glow of our two flames To take my weary self out for a ride To tell myself, "Hang in, man Roll Tide" Roll Tide It can't be easier to swim, when the water's high Roll Tide When what we want the most has us terrified Roll Tide If we don't want to let go, we have to fight And if we can't let go, then we have to try Roll Tide Roll Tide
