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.
