"Riptide" lyrics

"Riptide"

Undone by my own design
Yeah, snow-blind to every sign
Same old brand of sabotage
Caught up in the same mirage

Keep it one foot out the door (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Like this time and the time before
I'll be shrinkin' away like the waning moon (like the waning moon)
Then I'll wax poetic when I hear the tune

Should I flip the switch or should I just skip town?
What am I supposed to do when it all goes down?
Not quite what you need, oh, you keep me around
What am I supposed to do when it all goes down?

Can't catch a break, can't even think, 'cause my
Mind is racin', and I'm on the brink
I didn't want her here, I didn't want her gone, like a
Riptide, it's pulling me into a song

Just can't keep my head on straight
Yeah, my brain just won't accommodate
Some things never reach my heart
But I knew that from the very start

Should I flip the switch or should I just skip town?
What am I supposed to do when it all goes down?
Not quite what you need, oh, you keep me around
What am I supposed to do when it all goes down?

Can't catch a break, can't even think, 'cause my
Mind is racin', and I'm on the brink
I didn't want her here, I didn't want her gone, like a
Riptide, it's pulling me into a song
Riptide, it's pulling me into a song, like a
Riptide, it's pulling me into a song

This make me wanna drink
Wishing things could be just fine
Another place, another time
Maybe I should just fess up
Knowing things will be alright
Another place, another time

Can't catch a break, can't even think, 'cause my
Mind is racin', and I'm on the brink
I didn't want her here, I didn't want her gone, like a
Riptide, it's pulling me into a song
Riptide, it's pulling me into a song, like a
Riptide, it's pulling me into a song
