Riptide
Vance Joy Lyrics

I was scared of dentists and the dark
I had an irrational fear of both medical professionals and the absence of light.

I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
I had a fear of rejection and social anxiety when it comes to interacting with attractive women.

Oh, all my friends are turning green
My friends are envious of my relationship with this woman.

You're the magician's assistant in their dreams
You are the object of my affections and my friends' fantasies.

Lady, running down to the riptide
You, my love interest, are making a hasty decision that could lead to danger.

Taken away to the dark side
Your choices are taking you towards risky and undesirable situations.

I wanna be your left hand man
I desire to be your reliable partner and support system.

I love you when you're singing that song and
I hold a deep affection for you, especially when you're expressing yourself through music.

I got a lump in my throat 'cause
I am filled with intense emotion and feeling overwhelmed.

You're gonna sing the words wrong
You may not have everything figured out, but that's okay. I still cherish you and your imperfections.

Is this movie that I think you'll like
I believe I have found a film that you will enjoy watching.

This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City
The artist of this movie takes a brave step of leaving his job and relocating to a new city.

This cowboy's running from himself
The character in this movie is struggling with his identity and is on the run from his true self.

And she's been living on the highest shelf
The female character in this movie has been living a sheltered and privileged life.

I just wanna, I just wanna know
I am seeking clarity and understanding in our relationship.

If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay
I need to know if you are committed to this relationship.

I just gotta, I just gotta know
My curiosity and desire for answers is overwhelming.

I can't have it, I can't have it any other way
My love for you is strong and I cannot imagine being with anyone else.

I swear she's destined for the screen
I truly believe that you, my love interest, have the potential for being a successful actress.

Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh
You are the most stunning and captivating woman I've ever encountered, reminiscent of the famous actress Michelle Pfeiffer.
