Tidal Wave
Monika Borzym Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm gonna crush into love
Drive without hitting the sides, yeah
I wanna know how it feels
To take what isn't mine

I wanna give up control
I wanna lose all my senses
I'm gonna take off my clothes

To stand before you, sacred

I will not hesitate to let all on the line
I will not hesitate to let him take me

Floating away on a tidal wave
I'm drifting from shore that's so far away
And I don't care
I will give in to this love affair
Tonight and for the rest of our lives
All the same

Oh it's so hard to be discreet
With this irresistible attraction
The words on your lips taste so sweet
They linger and go down like honey

I will not hesitate to let all on the line
I will not hesitate to let him take me

Floating away on a tidal wave
I'm drifting from shore that's so far away
And I don't care
I will give in to this love affair
Tonight and for the rest of our lives

Floating away on a tidal wave
I'm drifting from shore that's so far away
And I don't care
I will give in to this love affair
Tonight and for the rest of our lives

Floating away
Floating, floating away
