Tidal - Noah Kahan

You knew me in my spiral

Happiness tidal, it comes and it goes

And I sank into the water

How I drifted farther away from the coast

Sometimes, I get this feeling

I was breathing someone else’s air

Two thousand miles away from home

Under that sky, I tried to make my peace with fear

So I guess I’ll build a boat and live alone

Lord, I’ll be the lost one (Oh, oh)

Oh, I’ll teach myself to swim and live in my head

And make sense of all my thoughts

And if I never reach the land or live again

Lord, I’ll be just fine (Oh, oh)

Yeah, I’ll drift until I’m dead, and until then

I’ll be the lost one, I’ll be the lost one

I fell into a pattern

Where nothing would matter if I didn’t care

To be so close to a coastline

To know that in my life, I’d never be there

Sometimes, I get this feeling

I’ve been breathing someone else’s air

So I guess I’ll build a boat and live alone

Lord, I’ll be the lost one (Oh, oh)

Oh, I’ll teach myself to swim and live in my head

And make sense of all my thoughts

And if I never reach the land or live again

Lord, I’ll be just fine (Oh, oh)

Yeah, I’ll drift until I’m dead, and until then

I’ll be the lost one, I’ll be the lost one

And it wears me out

All the demons underneath the tide

But I sink like stone

Below the weight of all these dreams of mine

And I wish you well

You can’t save someone too far to find

But it’s wearing me out

And it’s stormy in the sea tonight, in the sea tonight

So I guess I’ll build a boat and live alone

Lord, I’ll be the lost one (Oh, oh)

Oh, I’ll teach myself to swim and live in my head

And make sense of all my thoughts

And if I never reach the land or live again

Lord, I’ll be just fine (Oh, oh)

Yeah, I’ll drift until I’m dead, and until then

I’ll be the lost one, I’ll be the lost one
