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
