Riptides Lyrics by Almost, Maine

Stories

2017

[Verse 1]
Call me out, 'cause I'm no captain
Although I get the feel I'm sinking with the mention
Of losing touch, of losing my head
Of being dragged beneath the surface of apprehension

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but now
I'm broken down and beaten up
Gasping for air and finding none
Fatigued from all the fights I've fought alone

[Chorus]
Help me
Keep my eyes above the waves because
The riptide's just as violent as the storm inside my brain
And I'm begging you to help me
Be the calming wind that saves because
I'm running of options, slowly drowning from the pain

[Verse 2]
Cast away, but not forgotten
Lost among the waves, currents of commotion
I'll find a way, call it self-devotion
Back to where my footprints washed into the ocean

[Pre-Chorus]
But for now
I'm broken down and beaten up
Straining for help and finding none
I'm over fighting this all on my own

[Chorus]
Help me
Keep my eyes above the waves because
The riptide's just as violent as the storm inside my brain
And I'm begging you to help me
Be the calming wind that saves because
I'm running of options, slowly drowning from the pain

[Bridge]
And it's not how hard the waves crash, but getting up
It's not like treading water saved anyone
And I won't be the one who's left behind
Because it's not how hard the waves crash, but getting up
It's not like treading water saved anyone
And I can't seem to find a way out of the open
And into something I won't sink in

[Chorus]
Help me
Keep my eyes above the waves because
The riptide's just as violent as the storm inside my brain

[Chorus]
Help me
Keep my eyes above the waves because
The riptide's just as violent as the storm inside my brain
And I'm begging you to help me
Be the calming wind that saves because
I'm running of options, slowly drowning from the pain

[Outro]
And I know I'll come out so much stronger
I'll grow through all the pain
