Tides
Shekhinah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can see, life's a beach
Karma coming, to my knees, on repeat
Rescue me, I get too deep
I don't swim as well as I think I can
I need you to pull my hand
I need you to understand
Just who I am and where it is that I stand
I'm drowned in, I'm drowned in
In my surrounding
Don't want no one else around me
Only you, 'cause you ground me
You lift me up
Keep my head above water when the tide is high
I been swimming with the sharks for a while
(We) been a little while
(Been) silly like a child
And I know I let you down, please come back around
Yeah, I know I let you down, please come back a-
Please come back around
'Round yeah, around yeah (please come back around)
Ooh it's over and, ooh, yeah, yeah ('round yeah, around yeah)
(Please come back around)
Ooh, yeah, yeah (ooh, it's over and)
Try, try, we could try (please come back around)
Keep our love alive
Try, try (please come back around)
Keep our love alive
When I'm down, I need you around
(You got me, you got me)
No man is a island, no matter what I say
Cost of love is so pricey
Chasing you at a high speed
Don't matter, like you matter
If it's true love
True love, I'll swim for you love, ayy
Don't you love the way we do us? Do us
Somehow, shit just got too much
I'm drowned in, I'm drowned in
In my surrounding
Don't want no one else around me
Only you, 'cause you ground me
You lift me up
Keep my head above water when the tide is high (ooh, ooh)
I been swimming with the sharks for a while
(We) been a little while
(Been) silly like a child
And I know I let you down, please come back around
Yeah, I know I let you down, please come back a-
Please come back around
'Round yeah, around yeah (please come back around)
Ooh it's over and, ooh, yeah, yeah ('round yeah, around yeah)
(Please come back around)
Ooh, yeah, yeah (ooh, it's over and)
Try, try, we could try (please come back around)
Keep our love alive
Try, try (please come back around)
Keep our love alive, keep our love alive
(Please come back around)
(Please come back around)

Open up to me, like the sea

Coming (Coming), To my knees, on repeat
Rescue me, I get too deep

I need you to, understand
Just who I am and where it is that I stand
Who I am and where it is that I stand
I'm drowned in, I'm drowned in
In my surrounding
Don't want no one to surround me
Only you cause you crowned me
