Tides that I tried to swim against
You've put me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead (singing)
Come out of things unsaid, shoot an apple of my head (and a)
Trouble that can't be named, tigers waiting to be tamed (singing)
You are, you are
Confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks (gonna)
Come back and take you home, I could not stop, that you now know (singing)
Come out upon my seas, curse missed opportunities (am I)
A part of the cure, or am I part of the disease (singing)

Verse:
D# A# F G#
Chorus:
F G# D# A#
Come on, my star is fading
And I swerve out of control
If i, if I?d only waited
I?d not be stuck here in this hole
Come here my star is fading
And I swerve out of control
And I swear I waited and waited
I?ve got to get out of this hole
But time is on your side
Its on your side now
Not pushing you down and all around
It?s no cause for concern
Come on, oh my star is fading
And I see no chance of release
And I know I?m dead on the surface
But I am screaming underneath
And time is on your side
Its on your side now
Not pushing you down
And all around, no
It?s no cause for concern
Stuck on the end of this ball and chain
And I?m on my way back down again
Stood on a bridge, tied to the noose
Sick to the stomach
You can say what you mean
But it won?t change a thing
I?m sick of the secrets
Stood on the edge, tied to a noose
You came along and you cut me loose
You came along and you cut me loose
You came along and you cut me loose.
