We were racing tides in the sand You never lose I fit a crown for your head We played the roles we were given And i held my breath Yeah, i held my breath I raced the tides once you'd gone I never lose I raced the tides before dawn I'd never lose You crossed a line in the sand You crossed a line i had drawn for you I crossed my line in the sand I crossed the words i had written I held my breath I close my eyes I held my breath Give you a chance I held my breath Let you inside I held my breath Close my eyes I held my breath I let you in I held my breath We were racing tides in the sand.
