Riptide Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I was scared of dentists and the dark
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Oh, all my friends are turnin' green
You're the magician's assistant in their dream

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-ooh, oh-oh
And they come unstuck

[Chorus]
Lady, runnin' down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singin' that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

[Verse 2]
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 runnin' from himself
And she's been livin' on the highest shelf

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-ooh, oh-oh
And they come unstuck

[Chorus]
Lady, runnin' down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singin' that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

[Bridge]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Lady, runnin' down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you, when you're singin' that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

[Chorus]
Oh lady, runnin' down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singin' that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong
Oh lady, runnin' down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singin' 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

[novaace]

I remember the last night of camp, my and 15 other boys sat around in a circle and sang our heart out to this song. That was 8 years of my life, and I don’t regret one moment. That is exactly how I wanted to spend the last moments with my best friends on earth.

[TheDrummerCat]

I did a cover of this song for a rock camp a few years ago, and the Nostalgia is so crazy! It's like I can't listen to this song without crying! The good old days!

[たちつしつちふみーみつ]

This song reminds of my friend who moved she was a good friend I miss her, this one is for you Riley …

[Lemonemonyadabirby]

I sing this every morning whether or not i am with my friends

[HelloNewMoon]

This song makes me think of living with my boyfriend in our first place. Long before we got married and had babies and lost that youthful spark its so hard to hold on to.
We love our children and the life we made for them but this song takes me back to the days when we just lived for each other. We could sleep in on weekends snuggling in bed, our walls were filled with art we loved instead of family photos and we went out to a new restaurant every other night and never gained an ounce of weight or felt an ounce of guilt. For a while my mindset was stuck in getting that feeling back until I finally realized it was long gone. So much time had gone by and I had hardly noticed. Now I know all I can do is cherish the memory of that feeling that I had during that point of time and songs like this help.
