Tidal Wave Lyrics - Ocean Eyes - Owl City

I wish I could cross my arms 

& cross your mind 

'Cause I believe 

You'd unfold your paper heart & wear it on your sleeve 

All my life I wish I broke mirrors 

Instead of promises 

'Cause all I see 

Is a shattered conscience staring right back at me 

I wish I had covered all my tracks 

Completely, 'cause I'm so afraid 

Is that the light at the far end of the tunnel or just the train? 

Lift your arms, only Heaven knows 

Where the danger grows 

& it's safe to say 

There's a bright light up ahead, & help is on the way 

Help is on the way

NEW SONG: Taylor Swift - 'You Need To Calm Down' - LYRICS 

I forget the last time I felt brave 

I just recall insecurity 

'Cause it came down like a tidal wave 

& sorrow swept over me 

Depression, please cut to the chase 

& cut a long story short 

Oh, please be done 

How much longer can this drama afford to run? 

Fate looks sharp, severs all my ties 

& breaks whatever doesn't bend 

But sadly then 

All my heavy hopes just pull me back down again 

I forget the last time I felt brave 

I just recall insecurity 

'Cause it came down like a tidal wave 

& sorrow swept over me 

Photos 

Then I was given grace & love 

I was blind, but now I can see 

'Cause I found a new hope from above 

& courage swept over me 

It hurts just to wake up 

Whenever you're wearing thin 

Alone on the outside 

So tired of looking in 

The end is uncertain 

& I've never been so afraid 

But I don't need a telescope to see that there's hope 

& that makes me feel brave
