I think that people come and fade away
Like waves crashing against the coast of hope
We have to throw ourselves into the blue
And pray that we can keep our heads afloat

Because I've walked along beaches
Qriting 'Save Our Souls' in the sand
And when the sea meets the horizon so far out
Only the shells will understand

You're running from the waves, you're running from the tide
That's changing everyday, so dive straight in
You're running out of time, the current's pulling at your mind
So dive straight in

I think that people never change
Though it seems like they do like rocks along the beach
(Just hold my hand and take a dip in the water)

We're just slowing rolling by the tide
You'll find the strength is underneath
(Your heart is young but still your body gets older)

Cos I spent too long as a young boy skimming stones
'Til the sea begins to grow
(the clones are waiting by the rocks in the darkness)

But I found treasure there amongst them
I'm gonna take it all the way back home
(the furthest step you take will always be hardest)

You're running from the waves, you're running from the tide
That's changing every day, so dive straight in.
You're running out of time, the current's pulling at your mind
So dive straight in

So stained your eyes, wipe em clean boy
Keep treading water, or you'll sink or never see that face again
It's all lies, wipe 'em clean boy
You'll preach in danger but don't you dare
No don't you dare pretend

You're running from the waves, you're running from the tide
That's changing every day, so dive straight in.
You're running out of time, the current's pulling at your mind
So dive straight in
