The Rock And The Tide

Joshua Radin The Rock And The Tide Lyrics
1.Road To Ride On

We've been waiting,
anticipating your arrival.
Turn the light on,
give us road to ride on
help ensure survival

now there's a new day,
sing with us a new way
or be left behind.
You say, someday you know
where to go but we don't know

I'm always the last one,
never ready for the fast ones,
well it's time to change

so we make our plans,
set our sites on a new land
one that's kind of strange

you say, someday
we'll know where to go but we don't know
you say, someday
we'll know where to go but we don't know

I'm always the last one
never ready for the fast ones,
well it's time to change
so we make our plans,
set our sites on a new land
one that's kind of strange.

3.Here We Go


4.We Are Only Getting Better

Say, we'll run away, when things get better, better than today
Blind.....leading blind....never knowing, what we find

Where are we going, who are we now?
Let's decide.

This time you've got to make up your mind,
This life you're living.
This time you've got to make up your mind,
This life's worth living.
Get up, we've got a way's to go..................
We..........are only getting better
Where we were, that doesn't matter

Lately, everything is hazy, but I know what's true
Lately, everyone seems crazy, but I believe in you

Sun, shines in the eyes, of those who know how to leave the past
behind.
This time you've got to make up your mind,
This life you're living.
This time you've got to make up your mind,
This life's worth living
Get up, we've got a way's to go..................
We..........are only getting better
Where we were that doesn't matter

Lately, everything seems hazy, but I know what's true
Lately, everyone seems crazy, but I believe in you!

This time you've got to make up your mind,
This life's worth living
Get up, we've got a way's to go..................
We..........are only getting better
Where we were that doesn't matter

Lately, everything seems hazy, but I know what's true
Lately, everyone seems crazy, but I believe in you!


5.The Rock and The Tide

See a mountain, see an ocean, see the years that bring
Rock and tide close together
Settle down I said to myself,
things that come with time
Will always be better

Everyone gets what they want too fast, these days
No one knows the way to make things last
Still I say
Hey Baby
I'm through waiting
'Cause I need you now
I'll show you how
You can take my hand and save me,
C'mon save me

Everyone gets what they want too fast, these days
No one knows the way to make things last

Now the moon is in the right place after years of
spinning 'round the sun,
so I'm done with
all the times I strained to find a rhyme left me blind and
busted

Everyone gets what they want too fast, these days
No one knows the way to make things last
Still I say
Hey Baby
I'm through waiting
'Cause I need you now
I'll show you how
You can take my hand and save me
C'mon save me
C'mon save me

Hey baby
I'm through waiting
'Cause I need you now
I'll show you how
You can take my hand and save me

Hey baby
I'm through waiting
'Cause I need you now
I'll show you how
You can take my hand and save me
C'mon save me
C'mon save me


6.You Got What I Need


7.Nowhere to Go

Been stoned, been smoked been bedded now
We got nowhere to go
We got nowhere else to go

All this time, all we wanna know
Is where are we headed but
We got nowhere to go
We got nowhere else to go

You see, we can be free
If we live in our heads
So let's say let it be
And I won't get left by the wayside
I said I'm gonna turn a blind eye
How you see me
They say that's the key
Oh whoa, yeah
That's how I, that's how I wish I could be

But I need, but I want
So I get something better but
I got a ways to go
I got a ways to go
All this time I've been following life
To the letter, but
That ain't the way to go
That ain't the way to go

You see, we can be free
If we live in our heads
So let's say let it be
And I won't get left by the wayside
I said I'm gonna turn a blind eye
How you see me
They say that's the key
Oh whoa, yeah
That's how I, that's how I wish I could be

But I need, but I want
So I'll get something better but
I got a ways to go
I got a ways to go

You see, we can be free
If we live in our heads
So let's say let it be
And I won't get left by the wayside
I said I'm gonna turn a blind eye
How you see me
They say that's the key
Oh whoa, yeah
That's how I, that's how I wish I could be


8.Think I'll Go Inside

When I'm weary and tired
When I'm far from home,
I think of you in the rain and I kiss you.
I can't build you a castle;
I can't buy you a ring;
I can't see you tonight,
So I miss you.
Now it's raining.
Think I'll go inside.

Somebody stole my suitcase filled with pictures of you.
So I forget what your face looked like when we were just twenty
And it's raining.
I think I'll go inside.

I felt this way before,
walking out your front door.
I'm a sea without a shore and it's raining.
It's really raining.
I think I'll go inside.

When I miss the sunshine,
all I got are clouds
It's your bed I see, near the fire.
Baby if you've got room,
I could come and see you.
Make your favorite tea and when we tire,
listen to the rain fall.
Think I'll go inside.

Somebody stole my suitcase,
filled with pictures of you.
So I forget what your face looked like when we were just twenty
and it's raining.
Think I'll go inside.

I felt this way before,
walking out your front door.
I'm a sea without a shore and it's raining.
It's really raining.
Think I'll go inside.
Yeah it's raining.
Baby, it's raining.
Think I'll go inside.


9.The Ones With The Light

The bus is here 'til 3
So we got an hour to see,
The ones tonight,
The ones with the light,
That keeps shining,
She makes her mark; it's clear,
Checks herself, feeds the fear
Of the one tonight, the one with the light
That keep shining,

Johnny puts the whiskey on the table,
Calling out to everyone who's able.

And we will never change,
The way we are here,
I like that we are kinda strange,
So won't you stay near?

The taxi's is filled with 5,
He thanks the world he's alive,
Alive tonight, the beauty is honestly blinding.
So take a look around,
Almost lost, we've finally found
The ones tonight, the ones with the light,
That keep shining.

Johnny puts the whiskey on the table,
Calling out to anyone who's able.
And we will never change,
The way we are here,
I like that we are kinda strange,
So won't you stay near?

Johnny puts the whiskey on the table,
Calling out to everyone who's able.

We will never change,
The way we are here,
I like that we are kinda strange,
So won't you stay near?


10.You're Not As Young


11.One Leap

What if I let myself fall
What if the stars don't agree
Would the world stop, or would it spin round without us
Would it spin around you without me

Well our heroes have all been traded in
Can't think of what they used to be
So we look round and pray for salvation
While they search for a light out at sea
So we take, one, leap, for the bottom
And I pray your hope's not forgotten
And it's to too much to say
I need you this way
But tomorrow, you're already, gone
And I can't move on

I talk to you
In my mind while I lie down,
I wish you could hear all the words you'd said without knowing
They've traveled the world in my ears
As I take, one, leap, for the bottom
And I pray that your hopes not forgotten
And it's too much too say
I need you this way
For tomorrow, you're already, gone
And I have to move on

And I've never known of a world where someone like me could fall
down
To only be caught don't know, you turned on the light and
Now I can see
So I take one, leap, for the bottom
And i, know, that your hope's long forgotten
And it's too much to say
I need you this way
But tomorrow you're already gone

And I have to move on


12.Wanted


13.Brand New Day

Some kind of magic
Happens late at night
When the moon smiles down on me
And bathes me in it's light

I fell asleep beneath you
In the tall blades of grass
When I woke the world was new
I never had to ask

It's a brand new day
The sun is shinning
It's a brand new day
For the first time
In such a long long time
I know
I'll be ok

Most kind of stories
Save the best part for last
Most stories have a hero who finds
You make your past your past
Ya you make your past your past

It's a brand new day
The sun is shinning
It's a brand new day
For the first time
In such a long long time
I know
I'll be ok

This cycle never ends
Gotta fall in order to mend

And it's a brand new day
It's a brand new day
For the first time
In such a long long time
I know
I'll be ok
