Riptide Songtext
von Vance Joy

This song we′re playing is the first song I ever put on the internet
Didn't think it was gonna do what it did and get around all these place in the world
So if you guys know the lyrics to this one, please sing along with us

I was scared of dentists and the dark
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Oh, all my friends are turning green
You′re the magicians assistant in their dreams

Oh-ooh
Oh-ooh, oh
And they come unstuck

Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left-hand man
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 movie that I think you'll like
This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City
This cowboy is running from himself
She′s been living on the highest shelf

Oh-ooh
Oh-ooh, oh
And they come unstuck

Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left-hand man
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 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
I swear she′s destined for the screen
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh


Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left-hand man
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, lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left-hand man
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, lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left-hand man
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, lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left-hand man
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
Thank you, guys
