The Tide - Nightcore

We were children of the sea
In the water so carefree
You and I went hand in hand
Building castles in the sand

Then one night the tide came in
Pulled you out to sea and then
I never saw you ever again

I been searching far and wide you know
Hoping that the waves will bring you home
Everyday I'm clinging to the life we had before

But the ocean gives the ocean takes
Holding on was my mistake
So now I think it's time I let you go

You were always by my side
Left our troubles far behind
Skinny dipping stars so bright
Underneath the pale moonlight

You swam too far away from shore
I saw the ocean swallow you whole
Now the summer skies are still and cold

But I been sailing miles against the tide
Hoping that the waves give me a sign
Dreaming of the day I'll finally meet you at the coast

But looking back I realize
Sometimes dreams were meant to die
So you're someone I have to leave behind

But the ocean gives the ocean takes
Holding on was my mistake
So now I think it's time I let you go
