Riptide

Riptide pulls me out into the open sea

My toes dangle for a place to stand and be

Oh starry night, come and chart a course

Or send me a boat with an anchor set, I'll pull myself ashore

Left with essence

Of the moon and stars, and night

There's no other route

I cannot take self to flight

I'll float here with the shrimp and brine

And on my cheeks and hair, the salt will always shine

And with this phosphorescence map

A sailor's chart, a mermaid's hand, something I'll find

Oh starry night, come and chart a course

Or send me a boat with an anchor set, I'll pull myself ashore

Oh, oh oh, oh oh

Mmm mmm, mmm mmm mmm

Mmm mmm, mmm mmm mmm
