Intro: 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 can't 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 can't 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 can't go back to the way it used to be ( ) I hope that they won't forget us No we can't go back to the way it used to be
