lyrics

Lyrics:

The red tide flows down in the cove
We’re barefoot over smooth sounding stones
and I like I like I like…
You said, it’s been raining for days now
Big giant drops bouncing up off the street
You didn’t know I’m always wet anyhow
Violet green tidepools soaking up
through my feet
We’re sitting on the edge of the red soggy bank
the future flowing in the tide below
I try to collect the right words from the waves
but anything I say you must already know

I’m dipping into your pool
Trying not to get caught there
I ’m dipping

Do you feel like the ocean sometimes
Not the white of the waves but the place below
I said, yeah this tests sand and sky
I find myself calmed by the undertow
The red tide flows down in the cove
We’re barefoot over smooth sounding stones
and I like I like I like…

I’m dipping into your pool
Trying not to get caught there
Dipping into your pool
Wondering why I stop here

You feed me oranges in the back seat
to protect me from the sadness
Barely my lips and your wet fingers meet
and for a moment I forget the madness
