Tides

We were traveling at the speed of light everyday

Until the world turned upside-down

Didn't know what hit us but it all stopped

I guess this shit ain't playing around

Consume the likes to feed our empty heads

This fake smile won't help me when I'm dead

I don't know where our past few weeks went

I miss the days when we would spend

Sippin' whiskey on the park bench

Rollin' j's with my best friends

Roam the city till the morning and

Some good lovin' at the end

Some marvin Gaye to turn the groove on

A little wonder takes the edge off

Cool it down with some Steely

Some good lovin' at the end

We're taking our time, gonna get it right

I know that living won't be easy

The things we gained, the things that we lost

Only lovin' will complete me

Higher than the sky, to outer space

Together we'll repossess that feeling

With our hands up high we'll celebrate

I get so caught up in this daily parade

Loose track of what's good and the progress that I'v made

Maybe it takes crisis this big

To help us realize we're all just swimming in the same ****ing tank

All of this information is just noise

Constantly changing, inpossible to avoid

I'm slowly learning to compromise with the times

But all I wanna do is set this tape to rewind

We would spend all day and night chasing love

Or maybe it was lust I'm thinking of

Didn't give a **** about wasting time

Now all I really want is some peace of mind

I'm sick of all the lies told to my face

Doing my best to control this pace

But I tend to drive myself straight to the ground

Learned from the many times that I've been down

We're taking our time, gonna get it right

I know that living won't be easy

The things we gained, the things that we lost

Only lovin' will complete me

Higher than the sky, to outer space

Together we'll repossess that feeling

With our hands up high we'll celebrate

We're taking our time, we'll be alright

I know that soon we'll all be free

The things we gained, the things that we lost

Only lovin' will complete me

Higher than the sky, stoned to the bone

I know that we all miss that feeling

But soon were gonna celebrate
