Lyrics:
Tidal Wave - Ben Sharkey
Don’t matter what I do, or I say
or the dues that I pay
or the ice that I skate,
It’s still a heavy slate and I
Can’t get away, no I can’t get away
Cause what I do and what I say
never goes my way
I watch the clock and I stay
just sitting at the dock of the bay
you’ve got me trippin’ baby what can I say?
Because you’re always on my mind
I see your name in each passing sign
and though your lips are my sweet escape,
you hit my heart like a tidal wave
Whether it’s April or May,
the rain washes away
and it’s a holiday when I hear you say
“I can’t get away, no I can’t get away”
I try to turn the page, to a book set ablaze
you’ve got me locked in a cage
lost within an endless maze.
Just keep it spinning, let the record play
I want you to love me
squeeze me
please me
just don’t tease me, don’t tease
It feels right,
when it’s skin tight
with all your might,
I want you to hold me,
Hold me all night.
Because you’re always on my mind
I see your name in each passing sign
and though your lips are my sweet escape,
you hit my heart like a tidal wave
