When everywhere I
go feels like an uphill climb
If I just go with the flow I
have an easier time
I know which ever path I'm on al
ways leads me back to you
You're my whole world an
d I know our love is true
But when the job gives me
nothing but stress
The ocean calls me, I must confess
Could I ever leave it all behind?
And find a place to hide
Against the tide
Mother
Nature seems to want me to be
Against the tide
The waves won't push me
back to your beach
The easy way out would be to float away,
but deep down inside, I know I should say it's
a sign that I'm better off back
home by your side.
When I'm swimming against the tide.
When life is hard,
it feels like I'm stuck on an island
I don't get anywhere,
no matter how hard I'm trying
When all around me is danger,
and I'm feeling blue
I appreciate what I have and
all I care about is you
But when a friend lets me down,
the ocean calls me to get out of town
How could I ever leave it all behind?
And find a place to hide
Against the tide
Mother
Nature seems to want me to leave
Against the tide
The waves won't push
me back to your beach
An easy way out would be to float away,
but deep down inside, I know I should stay.
It's a sign that I'm better off back home by your side,
when I'm swimming against the tide.
I'm just a guy and sometimes
my eyes wander
And my mind drifts off to another place
But I wasn't born to roam,
and wherever you are is home.
In my daydreams I always
see your pretty face.
Against the tide,
Mother
Nature seems to want me to weep.
The waves won't push me
back to your beach
The easy way out,
you'll need to float away
But deep down inside,
I know I should stay
It's a sign that I'm better off back home
by your side,
when I'm swimming against the tide.
