[Instrumental Intro] [Rigid drum machine beat with lush, shimmering guitar chords] [Verse 1] I was standing on the shoreline of my mind Thought I left the turbulence far behind But I saw your eyes across the room A sudden shift, a beautiful doom The water recedes, the air goes still I’m helpless against this gravity's will [Pre-Chorus] I can't outrun it, I can't hide I’m pulled away by the ocean tide [Chorus] Here comes the tidal wave! Washing away everything I saved! I’m going under, I’m drowning in you A deeper shade of ocean blue! Oh, the tidal wave! [Verse 2] [Live drums enter powerfully] The crash is violent, the water is cold It's an ancient story, beautifully told I surrender my breath, I give up the fight Swept away in the middle of the night You are the moon that pulls my sea You are the storm that shatters me [Pre-Chorus] I can't outrun it, I can't hide I’m pulled away by the ocean tide [Chorus] Here comes the tidal wave! Washing away everything I saved! I’m going under, I’m drowning in you A deeper shade of ocean blue! Oh, the tidal wave! [Bridge] [Massive tom-tom drum fill leading into a synth solo] Wash over me. Wash over me!
