Tidal Wave
Sub Focus feat. Alpines Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like it means nothing
Love isn't a game where,
You win something
I'm tired of being
On the outside
I want to know
I'm tired of seeing
All of the sings
I want to feel
Us collide
Your love washes over
Like a tidal wave
I feel the impact
As we collide
Your love washes over
Like a tidal wave
I feel the impact
As we collide
All the games we play
You're fooling nobody
If it makes you feel good
When you're hurting somebody
I'm tired of being
On the outside
I want to know
What it's like
I'm tired of seeing
All of the signs
I want to feel
Us collide
Your love washes over
Like a tidal wave
I feel the impact
As we collide
Your love washes over
Like a tidal wave
I feel the impact
As we collide
Ey ah, ey ah ah, ey ah, ay ah ah
Ey ah, ey ah ah, ey ah, ay ah ah
Ey ah, ey ah ah, ey ah, ay ah ah
Ey ah, ey ah ah, ey ah, ay ah ah, ey ah, ay ah ah,
I feel the impact
As we collide

It's June 2013, first year exams have just finished and you're celebrating. It's predrinks and you're chatting to a girl you've had your eye on since freshers. You're so hammered you can only blink one eye at a time, she kisses you as this song is playing in the background. Life is good. Flash forward 8 years later and you're in a fucking pandemic writing stories on youtube at 4am on a workday.
