"Tides" lyrics

"Tides"

You leave with the tide
And I can't stop you leaving
I can see it in your eyes
Some things have lost their meaning

Devote, to me
Alone, with me
Safe, with me
Why would you ever want to leave?

You leave with the tide
And I can't stop you leaving
I can see it in your eyes
Some things have lost their meaning

Fade out of view
I wouldn't do that to you
I wouldn't just
Leave us alone
When we could be
Close, close, close

Hold me close
When you could
Leave us alone
Why would you just
Leave us alone
When we have been
Close, close

You leave with the tide
And I can't stop you leaving
I can see it in your eyes
Some things have lost their meaning
[x2]
