[Verse]
Don't hold the blame
I was down before you, down before you came
Each little wave that followed
Swallowed the one before

Lay down your blade
I was gone before, gone before you came
You're just the latest to wash up on shore
And beach at my feet

[Chorus]
Is there a rock high enough to climb above
The tides that come, the tides that come
I'm calling it, I'm calling it
I pull you free of this quicksand

[Verse]
Gulls up on the gutter
Shouting at us, shouting at each other
Remind me winter's come
And one stiff wind will blow off this thin love

God, what a waste
Of a worthy promise
One we nearly made
Long as we're pretending, let's pretend it ended well
[Chorus]
Is there a rock high enough to climb above
The tides that come, the tides that come
I'm calling it, I'm calling it
I pull you free of this quicksand

Is there a rock high enough to climb above
The tides that come, the tides that come
I'm calling it, I'm calling it
I pull you free of this...

Is there a rock high enough to climb above
The tides that come, the tides that come
I'm calling it, I'm calling it
I pull you free of this quicksand
