Night Tides - Alternate Version

Oh lord, I'm living in the past
My future, my future's coming fast
I try to keep going, but I know it'll never last
'Cause I'm living, living in the past

And it's hard to let go when you're chasing a ghost
And the dark runs into the light
Almost believed, why couldn't we be
Steady, like tides in the night?
We could have been right

I wanted something, I wanted it bad
I wanted something I just couldn't have
Now that I know, can't give it back
The weight was more than I could stand

And it's hard to let go when you're chasing a ghost
And the dark runs into the light
Almost believed, why couldn't we be
Steady, like tides in the night?
We could have been right

And it's hard to let go when you're chasing a ghost
And the dark runs into the light
Almost believed, why couldn't we be
The best thing in our lives?

And it's hard to let go when you're chasing a ghost
And the dawn is dragging you down
Almost believed, why couldn't we be
Steady, like tides in the night?
We could have been right
