Riptide - Live from Spotify London Songtext
von Vance Joy

Hi, I′m Vance Joy and this is my song Riptide

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 magician′s assistant in their dreams

Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ahh-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′ve gone and sang the words wrong

Here′s this movie that I think you'll like
This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City
This cowboy′s running from himself
She's been living on the highest shelf

Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ahh-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′ve gone and sang 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've gone and sang 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've gone and sang the words wrong


And I got a lump in my throat
′Cause you′ve gone and sang the words wrong
