This is bugging me for some reason and I would love other opinions! In the 2nd verse the lyric as written on this site and numerous others is "we call against the tide" - which makes NO sense to me. I've seen one site with "we're caught against the tide" - which does make sense and another site with "we crawl against the tide" - which is what I think is the correct lyric. Other opinions? BTW, I'm new here and appreciate any help/comments!!! Thanks!
