Vance Joy – Riptide

Riptide lyrics

I was scared of dentists and the dark,

I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations,

Oh all my friends are turning green,

You’re the magicians assistant in their dreams.

A-oh,

A-oh,

And they come unstuck

Lady, running down to the riptide,

Taken away to the dark side,

I wanna be your left hand man.

I love you

When you’re singing that song and,

I got a lump in my throat ’cause

You’re gonna sing the words wrong

There’s this movie that I think you’ll like,

This guy decides to quit his job

And heads to New York City,

This cowboy’s running from himself.

And she’s been living on the highest shelf

A-oh,

A-oh,

And they come unstuck

Lady, running down to the riptide,

Taken away to the dark side,

I wanna be your left hand man.

I love you

When you’re singing that song and,

I got a lump in my throat ’cause

You’re gonna sing the words wrong

I just wanna, I just wanna know,

If you’re gonna, if you’re gonna stay,

I just gotta, I just gotta know,

I can’t have it, I can’t have it

Any other way

I swear she’s destined for the screen,

Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you’ve ever seen, oh

Lady, running down to the riptide,

Taken away to the dark side,

I wanna be your left hand man.

I love you

When you’re singing that song and,

I got a lump in my throat ’cause

You’re gonna sing the words wrong

Oh Lady, running down to the riptide,

Taken away to the dark side,

I wanna be your left hand man.

I love you

When you’re singing that song and,

I got a lump in my throat ’cause

You’re gonna sing the words wrong

Oh Lady, running down to the riptide,

Taken away to the dark side,

I wanna be your left hand man.

I love you

When you’re singing that song and,

I got a lump in my throat ’cause

You’re gonna sing the words wrong yeah

I got a lump in my throat ’cause

You’re gonna sing the words wrong
