Lyrics The Tide - Ships Have Sailed

The Tide

Wide awake from a dream
Of a life that you long for, you
Feel you want just to scream
So the whole world can hear you as you cry out:
Give us what we want
And if it’s what you want, don’t give it up
Listen to the tides turn, and feel your heart yearn, just a little more
Floating back and forth in a sea of give and take, it’s like a war
Sometimes thinking we’re sinking makes us struggle just, a little more
Tonight it may be hard to try, but wait until the tide is high, to come ashore
They say «go with the flow»
But you’re not gonna go, oh no
'Cause the world doesn’t wait for the
Tide to decide just to turn your way
They might laugh in your face
So you keep trying to change
This tune that you play, each day
And you’re humming along
You’ll know when you hear it
So keep keeping on
And when you hear that song, you can’t get enough
Listen to the tides turn, and feel your heart yearn, just a little more
Floating back and forth in a sea of give and take, it’s like a war
Sometimes thinking we’re sinking makes us struggle just, a little more
Tonight it may be hard to try, but wait until the tide is high, to come ashore
'Cause you gotta wait… you gotta wait…
You gotta wait 'til the tide is high…
Listen to the tides turn, and feel your heart yearn, just a little more
Floating back and forth in a sea of give and take, it’s like a war
Sometimes thinking we’re sinking makes us struggle just, a little more
Tonight it may be hard to try, but wait until the tide is high, to come ashore
