You take me up to the town where you come from

Though it hurts to wait, you hold my hand by the water’s edge

‘Til I feel safe enough

And every day there’s another reminder of the times I’ve felt the ground give way

Try convince my body that it’s safe enough, now

Tide, take this from me

Erase gut memory

Tide, make it all clean

This is mine, is it gonna kill me? Or heal me?

You walked the streets with the others, thought you’d best try to move on

I held my breath

And went under

How do I feel safe enough, now?

Tide, take this from me

Erase gut memory

So tired, please carry me

Just a while

Show me that I’m here

Still real

I’m here

Still real

Tide, take this from me

Erase gut memory

Tide, make it all clean

Just a while, don’t hurry me -

Tide, take this from me

Release gut memory

So tired, please carry me

Just a while

Show me that I’m here

Still real

I’m here

Still real

When everything in your soul is alight do you see me through the flames

‘Cause I’m still here

Treading out stray embers

Are they dangerous?
