Riptide

Measure up
Be enough to power through it when
The light ahead, flickers dead, and you can't see the end
Move along and let it fade into dust
Come on out, sing it loud, we'll pull you out of the rut

So here's to another day spent wasting good intentions
I'm fearing the worst if I can bring myself to mention
What goes up must down
Even the best seem to hit the ground
And sooner or later, you'll call me a traitor
I'll still have your back, when you turn around

Looks like I've played myself again
Player one in a game I'll never win
Gripping tight to a sign of discontent
I wanna find, what you hide undercover
Oh no, I fit the footprints in the sand
Woah, I'm stuck and the cycle never ends

I'm stuck and the cycle never ends

Line me up here side by side to
All the versions of myself I tried and failed to rise (I've gotta)
Refine and stabilize
I'm sitting closer to the edge with every compromise
And there's no way to tell, take each step with care
And hope for the best but I
Won't get too comfortable, or let my goals be shook
I can't just waste it away

Looks like I've played myself again
Player one in a game I'll never win
Gripping tight to a sign of discontent
I wanna find, what you hide undercover
Oh no, I fit the footprints in the sand
Woah, I'm stuck and the cycle never ends

And the cycle never ends
And the cycle never ends
And the cycle never ends

Looks like I've played myself again
Player one in a game I'll never win
Gripping tight to a sign of discontent
I wanna find, what you hide undercover
Oh no, I fit the footprints in the sand
Woah, I'm stuck and the cycle never ends
