Owl City, Matthew Thiessen - Tidal Wave lyrics
[Owl City, Matthew Thiessen - Tidal Wave lyrics]
I wish I could cross my arms
And cross your mind
'Cause I believe you'd unfold
Your paper heart and wear it on your sleeve
All my life I wish I broke mirrors
Instead of promises 'Cause all I see
Is a shattered conscience staring
Right back at me i wish I had covered all my
Tracks completely 'cause I'm so afraid
Is that the light at the far end
Of the tunnel or just the train?
Lift your arms
Only heaven knows where the danger grows
And it's safe to say there's a bright light
Up ahead and help is on the way
Help is on the way help is on the way
Help is on the way help is on the way
I forget the last time I felt brave
I just recall insecurity
'Cause it came down like a tidal wave
And sorrow swept over me
Depression, please cut to the chase and
Cut a long story short
Oh, please be done how much longer
Can this drama afford to run?
Fate looks sharp, severs all my ties
And breaks whatever doesn't bend
But sadly then, all my heavy hopes just pull
Me back down again back down again
Back down again back down again
Back down again back down again
Back down again back down again
I forget the last time I felt brave
I just recall insecurity
'Cause it came down like a tidal wave
And sorrow swept over me
Then I was given grace and love I was blind
But now I can see
'Cause I found a new hope from above
And courage swept over me
It hurts just to wake up
Whenever you're wearing thin
Alone on the outside, so tired of looking in
The end is uncertain and I've
Never been so afraid
But I don't need a telescope
To see that there's hope
And that makes me feel brave
And cross your mind
'Cause I believe you'd unfold
Your paper heart and wear it on your sleeve
All my life I wish I broke mirrors
Instead of promises 'Cause all I see
Is a shattered conscience staring
Right back at me i wish I had covered all my
Tracks completely 'cause I'm so afraid
Is that the light at the far end
Of the tunnel or just the train?
Lift your arms
Only heaven knows where the danger grows
And it's safe to say there's a bright light
Up ahead and help is on the way
Help is on the way help is on the way
Help is on the way help is on the way
I forget the last time I felt brave
I just recall insecurity
'Cause it came down like a tidal wave
And sorrow swept over me
Depression, please cut to the chase and
Cut a long story short
Oh, please be done how much longer
Can this drama afford to run?
Fate looks sharp, severs all my ties
And breaks whatever doesn't bend
But sadly then, all my heavy hopes just pull
Me back down again back down again
Back down again back down again
Back down again back down again
Back down again back down again
I forget the last time I felt brave
I just recall insecurity
'Cause it came down like a tidal wave
And sorrow swept over me
Then I was given grace and love I was blind
But now I can see
'Cause I found a new hope from above
And courage swept over me
It hurts just to wake up
Whenever you're wearing thin
Alone on the outside, so tired of looking in
The end is uncertain and I've
Never been so afraid
But I don't need a telescope
To see that there's hope
And that makes me feel brave
