swim against the tide

Lyrics

hold me up high for a while, you always said i'd learn to cry, and you were right, and i wept through your hold of the night, when you gave me something, then it feels like summer, i keep on runnin' back, sit back and open wide, let me see you're dead inside, it's so hard to swim against the tide, i'm back trippin' over cracks in the road, won't you slow me down?, spirit grows when love goes away, and i'm still thinking of a new way to say, "i miss you", it wasn't so hard to get, you're a figure in the dark, a silhouette, and you crept through the hole in my head, you were the feet of the sun, and it seems so funny, you keep on comin' back, hold tight and clench your fists, 'cause your eyes aren't filled with phantom kiss, and just pray to your god that you missed, rise up, floating over loves, that you've left, spirit grows when love goes away, and i'm still thinking of a new way to say, that i'm missing you
