Against the Tide

When everywhere I go feels like an uphill climb
If I just go with the flow, I have an easier time
I know whichever path I'm on always leads me back to you
You're my whole world, and I know our love is true

But when the job gives me nothin' but stress
The ocean calls me I must confess
Could I ever leave it all behind
And find a place to hide?

Against the tide, mother nature seems to want me to leave
Against the tide, the waves won't push me back to your beach
The easy way out would be to float away
But deep down inside I know I should stay
It's a sign that I'm better off back home by your side
When I'm swimming against the tide

When life is hard, it feels like I'm stuck on an island
I don't get anywhere, no matter how hard I'm tryin'
When all around me is danger, and I'm feelin' blue
I appreciate what I have, and all I care about is you

But when a friend lets me down
The ocean calls me to get out of town
Could I ever leave it all behind
And find a place to hide?

Against the tide, mother nature seems to want me to leave
Against the tide, the waves won't push me back to your beach
The easy way out would be to float away
But deep down inside I know I should stay
It's a sign that I'm better off back home by your side
When I'm swimming against the tide

I'm just a guy, and sometimes my eyes wander
My mind drifts off to another place
But I wasn't born to roam, and wherever you are is home
In my daydreams I always see your pretty face

Against the tide, mother nature seems to want me to leave
Against the tide, the waves won't push me back to your beach
The easy way out would be to float away
But deep down inside I know I should stay
It's a sign that I'm better off back home by your side
When I'm swimming against the tide
