lyrics

Tidal Wave

This night is so damn young,
We’ve got a couple more hours of fun,
So take off your halo,
Why don’t we lay low?
How does that martini taste on your lips,
Hot sand with the beach in the background,
Reminds us of love.
We’re in love babe.
But, I drifted in the wrong direction.
I swam accidently to Japan.
I swam to Japan to lay in the sand.

I’ll set you free,
There’s a burning in your heart.
The tidal waves will tear us apart,
Along the coastline.
I’ll set you free,
There’s a burning in your heart.
The yearning will keep us apart,
Below the waistline.
So take off your halo.

Never saw it coming in this tidal wave,
Pushing us around,
This shit don’t come around,
This shit don’t come around.
(This night is so damn young)
(This night is so damn young)
Never saw it coming in this tidal wave,
Pushing us around,
This shit don’t come around,
This shit don’t come around.
(Never saw it coming, never saw it coming around)
(Never saw it coming, never saw it coming around)

But I drifted in the wrong direction.
I swam accidently to Japan.
I swam to Japan and lay in the sand.

I’ll set you free,
There’s a burning in your heart.
The yearning will keep us apart,
Below the waistline.
So take off your halo.

Never saw it coming,
Never saw it coming around.

I’ll set you free,
There’s a burning in your heart.
The tidal waves will tear us apart,
Along the coastline.
I’ll set you free,
There’s a burning in your heart.
The yearning will keep us apart,
Below the waistline.
So take off your halo.
