The tide creeps in like a question I can't answer
Shifting the sand, rewriting every stanza
I've built castles out of driftwood and denial
But the ocean keeps my name after a while
And I can feel it on my skin
That pull again, that pull again
Every wall I made caves in
When it comes rushing in
Tidal Wave, Tidal Wave
Take me all the way
Tidal Wave, Tidal Wave
I don't want to stay safe
If you break me, break me clean
Wash the hurt right out of me
Tidal Wave, Tidal Wave
Take me all the way
I kept my heart in a jar on the dresser
Labeled it fragile, handled it lesser
You came in with that wild blue hunger
And every locked door lost its thunder
And I can feel it on my skin
That pull again, that pull again
Every wall I made caves in
When it comes rushing in
Tidal Wave, Tidal Wave
Take me all the way
Tidal Wave, Tidal Wave
I don't want to stay safe
If you break me, break me clean
Wash the hurt right out of me
Tidal Wave, Tidal Wave
Take me all the way
Let the shoreline vanish
Let the old me go
I was scared of drowning
Now I want to know
What it means to let you in
What it means to lose control
Tidal Wave, Tidal Wave
Take me all the way
Tidal Wave, Tidal Wave
I don't want to stay safe
If you break me, break me clean
Wash the hurt right out of me
Tidal Wave, Tidal Wave
Take me all the way
