swim against the tide

hold me up high for a while

you always said i'd learn to cry

and you were right

and i wept through your hold of the night

when you gave me something

then it feels like summer

i keep on runnin' back

sit back and open wide

let me see you're dead inside

it's so hard to swim against the tide

i'm back trippin' over cracks in the road

won't you slow me down?

spirit grows when love goes away

and i'm still thinking of a new way to say

i miss you"
