[verse 1] I don’t fall asleep I drift something pulls and I go with it One moment I'm awake Toes in the sand The next, tide catches me Pulling me away from land no warning sign No way to fight I'm awake. I'm fine. I don't see it coming just a quiet shift in tide the water feels like something known like I’ve been here long before I don’t see it coming just a quiet shift in tide the water feels like something known like I’ve been here long before [pre-chorus] no sharp drop no sudden end just slipping out [chorus] riptide pulling me under slow down, down, down where the dream things go undertow taking what I can’t keep Inevitable pull I just sink into sleep riptide pulling me out again back to the deep away from land And into sleep [verse 2] one moment I’m awake toes in the sand the next, tide catches me pulling me away from land no line between the shore and the deep just where I was and where I sleep the ocean keeps me when it wants to then lets me go when it comes and when it's through ...I'll never know [pre-chorus] Then it starts again no sharp drop no sudden end just slipping out [chorus] riptide pulling me under slow down, down, down where the dream things go undertow taking what I can’t keep Inevitable pull I just sink into sleep riptide pulling me out again back to the deep away from land And into sleep [bridge] When I've accepted the comfort of the depths of sleep let the current carry me let it take me deep the tide decides to wash me ashore suddenly I’m standing like before the ocean keeps me when it wants to then lets me go Suddenly I'm awake Feet on land How long did it take? Toes in the sand When did I get here? air in my chest when did I leave when did I rest [pre-chorus] Then it starts again no sharp drop no sudden end just slipping out [chorus] riptide pulling me under slow down, down, down where the dream things go undertow taking what I can’t keep Inevitable pull I just sink into sleep riptide pulling me out again back to the deep away from land And into sleep [outro] the ocean keeps me when it wants to then lets me go one moment here Next, pulled by the flow One moment here next, I don’t know Drifting out to sea
