Jack & Jack – Tides Lyrics

Ya know
Alright, let’s go¹
When the tide hits you straight in the face
Life is getting harder
Treading water²
Got no where to go
And as the time slips away day by day stranded in the ocean
Every open door has now been closed³

Dead bolt, locked no escape
Feeling like an outcast
so out of place⁴ and I know
The tides might take you away⁵
But don’t you worry there’s no hurry for tomorrow cause’ today’s still young⁶

Now you feel rock bottom and you’re feeling left at sea, yeah
Just keep your head above the water
And I know you’ll find somewhere to breathe⁷

When the tides they drag you down
When the tides they drag you down, down under
Further than you’ve ever been
Oh I don’t know
And when the tides they pull you out
When the tides they pull you out, out so far⁸
Lord teach me how to swim, how to swim⁹

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa (stay away from the bad tides)
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Yeah (only go where there’s good vibes)

Good few vibes
I knew I would choose positivity¹⁰
And still I realize my life is so much more
I know this life aint what you bargained for
But honestly you never know
What life has got in store (yeah you never know)¹¹

Cause’ everybody’s gonna make it if they try
And if you persevere through your fears never hide¹²
Fold your hands in a prayer to the sky
And let your worries wash away with the tides¹³
And I’m singing

Now you feel rock bottom and you’re feeling left at sea, yeah
Just keep your head above the water, (above the water)
And I know you’ll find somewhere to breathe

When the tides they drag you down
When the tides they drag you down, down under
Further than you’ve ever been
Oh I don’t know
And when the tides they pull you out
When the tides they pull you out, out so far
Lord teach me how to swim, how to swim

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa (stay away from the bad tides)
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Yeah (only go where there’s good vibes)

And you gotta keep your chin up, (and you gotta keep your chin up)
Keep your head held high, (keep your head held high)¹⁴
Just forget about the bad tides, (just forget)
Let em roll on by, (let em roll)
And you gotta keep your chin up, (yeah you gotta keep your chin up)
Keep your head held high, (let em know)
Just forget about the bad tides, (let em roll)
Let em roll on by, (let em roll)¹⁵

When the tides they drag you down
When the tides they drag you down, down under
Further than you’ve ever been
Oh I don’t know
And when the tides they pull you out
When the tides they pull you out, out full far
Lord teach me how to swim, how to swim
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa (stay away from the bad tides)
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Yeah (only go where there’s good vibes)
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa (stay away from the bad tides)
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Yeah (only go where there’s good vibes)

Stay away from the bad tides
Only go where there’s good tides
Haha, that’s dope¹⁶
