The Tide Lyrics

I feel the rain on my face
Others wait for opportunities gone away
And we stand on the moon believing that we're closer to you
And we are complicating your own simple ways
Let your waves crash over me
Let your tide swallow me
Just like your sunlight sets me free

Don't fade on me now
Life seems to be somehow all shaded
And why do I run away from my inclusion?
And hold back the conversation until we begin to see?
Let your waves crash over me
Let your tide swallow me
Just like your sunlight sets me free

So drown me in your ocean's tide (x4)
So drown me in your ocean's tide (x3)
Your tide, Your tide

So drown me in your ocean's tide
So drown me in your ocean

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It sounds slightly christian with lyrics such as "We stand on the moon believing that we're closer to you" and "Let your tide swallow me, just like your sunlight sets me free". The part about the moon, especially, makes it sound as though he's referring to a higher being. Meh, even if they are a xtian band, they make some bloody good music. Was wonderful wandering around the UniSA campus (I know, I know...) for the open day and hearing them play live :)
