Tides
Shekhinah Lyrics

Open up to me, like the sea
Be vulnerable with me and let me in, just like the sea opens up to the shore

I can see, life's a beach
I can tell that life can be beautiful and serene, just like the beach

Karma coming, to my knees, on repeat
I feel like karma is repeatedly bringing me down to my knees

Rescue me, I get too deep
I need your help to get out of situations that I've gotten too deeply involved in

I don't swim as well as I think I can
I have overestimated my abilities and am not as capable as I thought

I need you to pull my hand
I need you to guide me and lend me a helping hand

I need you to understand
I want you to truly comprehend my struggles and feelings

Just who I am and where it is that I stand
I want you to know and accept me for who I am and where I am in my life

Who I am and where it is that I stand
I reiterate that I want you to understand and accept me

I'm drowned in, I'm drowned in
I am overwhelmed and consumed by my surroundings

In my surrounding
I am feeling trapped in my environment

Don't want no one else around me
I only want you to be by my side

Only you, 'cause you ground me
You are the only one who can keep me rooted and grounded

You lift me up
You elevate me and make me feel better

Keep my head above water when the tide is high
You support me and help me stay afloat during difficult times

I been swimming with the sharks for a while
I have been dealing with difficult or dangerous situations for a while now

(We) been a little while
We have been going through a tough time for a little while

(Been) silly like a child
We have acted foolishly and immaturely

And I know I let you down, please come back around
I am aware that I have disappointed you and I want you to come back into my life

'Round yeah, around yeah (please come back around)
I am asking you to come back around in a hopeful and repetitive way

Ooh it's over and, ooh, yeah, yeah ('round yeah, around yeah)
It feels like our relationship is over but I am still asking you to come back around

(Please come back around)
Reiterating my plea for you to return

Try, try, we could try (please come back around)
I am willing to try again with you and asking you to do the same

Keep our love alive
We need to work together to keep our love thriving

No man is a island, no matter what I say
I realize that I cannot go through life alone, even if I say otherwise

Cost of love is so pricey
Love is expensive in terms of time, emotion, and effort

Chasing you at a high speed
I am pursuing you with urgency and determination

Don't matter, like you matter
Nothing else matters as much as you do to me

If it's true love
If our love is genuine and sincere

True love, I'll swim for you love, ayy
I will do anything for you if our love is real

Don't you love the way we do us? Do us
Do you appreciate the way we love and interact with each other?

Somehow, shit just got too much
Somehow, things have become overwhelmingly difficult or complicated
