Riptides Lyrics

[Verse 1]

These days I say goodbye without opening my mouth

I just stare into the distance until you figure it out

‘Cause I feel as invested as a boy or a guard

Who's seen too many people leaving to take it too hard



[Chorus]

I'm too tired to talk, I'm too tired to end the war

And I can't seem to hold it together anymore



[Verse 2]

And my old haunts, each one's a trigger and I'm holding the gun

Like a perp frozen in your headlights who forgot to run

And I'm overcome by the voices multiplying in the crowd

It's been swelling inside my ears and growing frighteningly loud



[Chorus]

I'm too tired to talk, I'm too tired to end thе war

And I can't seem to hold it together anymore

I'm too tirеd to start, I can't bring you up to speed

There's too many riptides in this ocean to proceed



[Bridge]

And I'm feeling fine

Roughly half the time

There's a fatal flaw

In my heart's design



[Instrumental]



[Chorus]

I'm too tired to talk, I'm too tired to end the war

And I can't seem to hold it together anymore

I'm too tired to start, I can't bring you up to speed

There's too many riptides in this ocean to proceed



[Outro]

There's too many riptides in this ocean to proceed
