Tore a line in the sun Like there's nothing to regret and nothing to prove Set my sights high enough So I see the turning tides are parting for you Taking back an empty threat More than you could ever know Take it back with no regrets I was better off when I was on your side And I was holding on To try and not forget Hoping that you'd never know Take it back with no regrets I was better off when I was on your side And I was holding on No more times second guessed Like there's nothing to forget and nothing to lose Hold my ground long enough Till I see the turning tides are coming from you Taking back an empty threat More than you could ever know Take it back with no regrets I was better off when I was on your side And I was holding on To try and not forget Hoping that you'd never know Take it back with no regrets I was better off when I was on your side If we wanna stay here, can we see the waves? They're spilling over us, filling our insides In the rising water, in the rising tides They're spilling over me, filling my insides If we wanna stay here, can we see the waves? They're spilling over us, filling our insides In the rising water, in the rising tides We wait for the fall (I gotta tell you) Maybe the water's high (I gotta tell you) But I can see the difference Maybe the water's high (I gotta tell you) But I can see the difference (I gotta tell you) Maybe the water's high (I gotta tell you) But I can see the difference (I gotta tell you) Maybe the water's high (I gotta tell you) But I know that this is different Taking back an empty threat More than you could ever know Take it back with no regrets I was better off when I was on your side And I was holding on To try and not forget Hoping that you'd never know Take it back with no regrets I was better off when I was on your side And I was holding on
