Wade in the waves when the tide is low
You hear them lapping at your door
Here, it's deceptively clear but you don't know
Just what you're lookin' for

There's always more than what meets the eye
So dive in deep beyond the shore
And, let the sand keep you high and dry
But watch out as breakers roar, yeah

Things always lie closer than they appear
There's grand secrets lost on ocean floors
Beware every ripple, as they draw near
The riptides of my shallow shores

I stay low, though I'm sure we could go
I'll wait for her call to know, mustn't pull her under
No, always submerged in her glow
She holds back, she's afraid of flying
I change tack, guess it's worth trying
Lightning crack, am I still denying
My hull breakin' on her

Hundreds of things you don't see
Constellate as the history of me

There's always more than what meets the eye
So dive in deep beyond the shore
And, let the sand keep you high and dry but
Watch out as breakers roar, yeah

(Go with the flow)

Things always lie closer than they appear
There's grands secrets lost on ocean floors
beware every ripple, as they draw near
the riptides of my shallow shores
