Owl City - Tidal Wave lyrics

rate me

I wish I could cross my arms and cross your mind <br />Cause I believe you'd unfold your paper heart and wear it on your sleeve <br />All my life I wish I broke mirrors instead of promises <br />Cause all I see is a shattered conscience staring right back at me <br />I wish I had covered all my tracks completely <br />Cause I'm so afraid, is that the light at the far end of the tunnel or just the train <br />Lift your arms, only heaven knows where the danger grows <br />And it's safe to say there's a bright light up ahead and help is on the way <br /> <br />I forget the last time I felt brave, I just recall insecurity <br />Cause it came down like a tidal wave and sorrow swept over me <br /> <br />Depression please cut to the chase and cut a long story short <br />Oh please be done, how much longer can this drama afford to run <br />Fate looks sharp, severs all my ties and breaks whatever doesn't bend <br />But sadly then, all my heavy hopes just pull me back down again <br /> <br />I forget the last time I felt brave, I just recall insecurity <br />Cause it came down like a tidal wave and sorrow swept over me <br />Then I was given grace and love <br />I was blind but now I can see <br />Cause I've found a new hope from above <br />And courage swept over me <br /> <br />It hurts just to wake up whenever you're wearing thin <br />Alone on the outside <br />So tired of looking in <br />The end is uncertain <br />And I've never been so afraid <br />But I don't need a telescope to see that there's hope <br />And that makes me feel brave<br /><br />
