Us Against the Tide

What if I never saw you coming?
What if you never opened up?
Would it be the same if I came over?
We met when we were young but now we're older
And if I could have known it, would I dare to show it?
Would I ever tell you you're alright?
Cause I still remember us laying on the carpet
in the house of someone we once knew
I've been so lost, you've helped me find my own peace of mind
That I was searching for all my life
My boy, my boy
It's us against the tide
Taking the long way home
(so cold, so cold)
So I could be with you again
Even if I tried to be seen
All I could do was make a scene
And then when I knew it, afraid that I'd blew it
I'd show up in school just for you
I thought it was nothing, but it turned into something
And now I can't see anything else
I've been so lost, you've helped me find my own peace of mind
That I was searching for all my life
My boy, my boy
It's us against the tide
I've been so lost, you've let me find my own peace of mind
That I was searching for all my life
My boy, it's us against the tide
(it's us against the tide)
