Vance Joy
When someone requests Riptide, but you only listen to Folk-Punk
[Spoken]
Anyway, here's Riptide
[Verse 1]
I was scared of dentists and the dark
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Oh, all my friends are turning green
You're the magician's assistant in their dream
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-o-oh, oh, and they come unstuck
[Chorus]
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you, when you're singing 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 running from himself
And she's been living on the highest shelf
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-o-oh, oh, and they come unstuck
[Chorus]
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong
(Laugh)
