Against the Tide

When everywhere I go feels like an uphill climb If I just go with the flow, I have an easier time I know whichever path I'm on always leads me back to you You're my whole world, and I know our love is true But when the job gives me nothin' but stress The ocean calls me I must confess Could I ever leave it all behind And find a place to hide? Against the tide, mother nature seems to want me to leave Against the tide, the waves won't push me back to your beach The easy way out would be to float away But deep down inside I know I should stay It's a sign that I'm better off back home by your side When I'm swimming against the tide When life is hard, it feels like I'm stuck on an island I don't get anywhere, no matter how hard I'm tryin' When all around me is danger, and I'm feelin' blue I appreciate what I have, and all I care about is you But when a friend lets me down The ocean calls me to get out of town Could I ever leave it all behind And find a place to hide? Against the tide, mother nature seems to want me to leave Against the tide, the waves won't push me back to your beach The easy way out would be to float away But deep down inside I know I should stay It's a sign that I'm better off back home by your side When I'm swimming against the tide I'm just a guy, and sometimes my eyes wander My mind drifts off to another place But I wasn't born to roam, and wherever you are is home In my daydreams I always see your pretty face Against the tide, mother nature seems to want me to leave Against the tide, the waves won't push me back to your beach The easy way out would be to float away But deep down inside I know I should stay It's a sign that I'm better off back home by your side When I'm swimming against the tide
