Tide to Swim Behind Lyrics by Ilena

Protostar

2020

I cut my teeth on loving all the things that I could lose
I guess I'll just dress these wounds
I wanna take you to the edge and see what you would do
If I lit fireworks in you
Inside my mind, catastrophise, we grow bolder in disguise
I cross my wires and hope to die
Hands by your sides, you stand outside
You stand as much as you would like
Guess I'll see you in the next life
Slowly, we sway
It was good just to be okay
Don't close the gate
I'll find my own way
Oh baby, every morning there's a tide to swim behind
Bruises on my knees but I feel right
Oh, you know, I won't give up a fight
Not while your fingers are tiеd up in mine
I talk a lot of nothing
Trying to reach something that is truе
Walk round the block and read the news
One mirrored mind, I fell behind
But it's a crime we both defined
If this is life, how unkind
Slowly, we sway
It was good just to be okay
Don't close the gate
I'll find my own way
Oh baby, every morning there's a tide to swim behind
Bruises on my knees but I feel right
Oh, you know, I won't give up a fight
Not while your fingers are tied up in mine
Oh baby, every morning there's a tide to swim behind
Bruises on my knees but I feel right
Oh, you know, I won't give up a fight
Well, it's why we never found our light
We never found the light
You who took all of my time
