Riptide Lyrics

I was scared of dentists and the dark
I was scared of pretty boys and starting conversations
Oh, All my friends are turning green
Your'e the magicians assistant in their dreams

Oh, and they come unstuck

Baby, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand girl
I love you when you're singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

There's this mvie that I think you'll like
This guy decides to quit his job and move to New York City
This cowboy's running from himself
And she's been living on the highest shelf

Oh, and they come unstuck

Baby, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand girl
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause your'e gonna sing the words wrong
I just wanna, I just wanna know
If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay
I just gotta, I just gotta know
I can't have it, I can't have it any other way
And I swear he's destined for the screen
Closest thing to Vance Joy that you'll ever see

Baby, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be you're left hand girl
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

Baby, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be you're left hand girl
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

Oh baby, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand girl
I love you when you're singing that song
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong
Baby, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be you're left hand girl
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong
