Tides

Memories slip us by, tides are rolling in

Go swimming every day, the salt on your skin

Waves wash away

Don’t have a lot to say

You’re cold and fresh and free

I never wanted to grow up like you

Never want to see the things you’ve seen

Or feel the way you do

But now, all I want is to grow up like you

To see the things you’ve seen

To know why the sea’s so blue

Jumping over roses in your garden

Cut my knees and watched them bleed

Felt so rewarding

Knitted jumpers and pinafore dresses

Taking photos and cleaning messes

First up to dance at all the parties

Grabbed each other’s hands and started waltzing

All I wanna do is grow up like you

To dance around the living room
