Changing Tides Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the rain came
It washed us out to sea
I'm holdin' what I love
And she's holdin' on to me
It's no surprise
It brought me to my knees
You're never really ready
You're ready as can be
The sun was comin' up
We were siftin' through the sand
Lookin' for the pieces
Of our broken plans
It's gonna take a while
We're gonna get it back
We gotta carry on darlin'
We were built to last

[Chorus]
Changin' tides
Baby, that's the hardest part of life
Hold me tight
And we will move as one in the changin' tides

[Verse 2]
There's no doubt the beauty that we see
Followin' the path, so much older than we
Lovers built it with their hands, walked it with their feet
Above the ragin' waters and the darkness underneath
[Chorus]
Changin' tides
Baby, that's the hardest part of life
Hold me tight
And we will move as one in the changin' tides
And we will move as one in the changin' tides

[Bridge]
When the rain came
It washed us out to sea
I'm holdin' what I love
And she's holdin' on to me
It's gonna take a while
It's gonna come back
We gotta carry on darlin'
We were built to last

[Chorus]
Changin' tides
Baby, that's the hardest part of life
Hold me tight
And we will move as one in the changin' tides

[Outro]
Changin' tides
And we will move as one in the changin' tides
And we will move as one in the changin' tides

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The artist wants to hold onto something, but the tides (along with the lifestyle we are living in), is changing too fast
