I'll call you when it's late
And you need a friend
Get you home safe
When you're drunk before ten
I'll do whatever it takes
To try and change your mind
I'll buy you stupid shit
And I'll write you a rhyme
Leave all of the habits
And bad static behind
I promise I'll be better
Just hold me tight tonight
Before the riptide
We ain't meant to be
But I can't stand to be without ya
And it's not like me
To not make up my mind
We can make believe
And swear that we are good
And look for something we ain't
Ever gonna find
Before the riptide
Before the riptide
You could tell me that it
Doesn't have to end like this
That it's just a couple things
We could always fix
But I think we've said it all
And goodbye's all that's left
We ain't meant to be
But I can't stand to be without ya
And it's not like me
To not make up my mind
We can make believe
And swear that we are good
And look for something we ain't
Ever gonna find
Before the riptide
And I think we've said it all
And goodbye's all that's left
We ain't meant to be
But I can't stand to be without you
And it's not like me
To not make up my mind
We can make believe
And swear that we are good
And look for something we ain't
Ever gonna find
Before the riptide
Before the riptide
Here come's the riptide
