Tidal Waves Lyrics

So I turned and faced the wave
It kept on calling out my name
You know the echoes tried to throw me off
but the shadows helped my aim
So I kept on treading water
Until I got somewhere to see
It was another wave standing 10 feet tall
And it towered over me

These tidal waves keep coming
They are washing over me
And They're trying to drag me down
Somewhere that I can't breathe

And it's breaking down from fantasy
And it's not looking good for you and me
Could you wake me up when it's over please
Cause I'm not doing this alone

It was never my intention
To be the captain of the ship
I just built the boat to stay afloat and save some friends with it
We're here with miss direction
and she's throwing us off course
What's the use of writing words to save a soul if they are forced

These tidal waves keep coming
They are washing over me
And They're trying to drag me down
Somewhere that I can't breathe

And it's breaking down from fantasy
And it's not looking good for you and me
Could you wake me up when it's over please
Cause I'm not doing this alone
I can feel it as I lose my grip
Cause my head says I can't handle it
But I'll stay afloat if I don't forget
That I'm not in this alone

I'll sink if I ever forget
I'll sink if I ever forget
I'll sink if I ever forget
I'll sink if I ever forget

And it's breaking down from fantasy
And it's not looking good for you and me
Could you wake me up when it's over please
Cause I'm not doing this alone
I can feel it as I lose my grip
Cause my head says I can't handle it
But I'll stay afloat if I don't forget
That I'm not in this alone
