Tidal Wave Lyrics

I wish I could cross my arms
& cross your mind
'Cause I believe
You'd unfold your paper heart & wear it on your sleeve

All my life I wish I broke mirrors
Instead of promises
'Cause all I see
Is a shattered conscience staring right back at me

I wish I had covered all my tracks
Completely, 'cause I'm so afraid
Is that the light at the far end of the tunnel or just the train?
Lift your arms, only Heaven knows

Where the danger grows
& it's safe to say
There's a bright light up ahead, & help is on the way
Help is on the way

I forget the last time I felt brave
I just recall insecurity
'Cause it came down like a tidal wave
& sorrow swept over me

Depression, please cut to the chase
& cut a long story short
Oh, please be done
How much longer can this drama afford to run?

Fate looks sharp, severs all my ties
& breaks whatever doesn't bend
But sadly then
All my heavy hopes just pull me back down again

I forget the last time I felt brave
I just recall insecurity
'Cause it came down like a tidal wave
& sorrow swept over me

Then I was given grace & love
I was blind, but now I can see
'Cause I found a new hope from above
& courage swept over me
It hurts just to wake up
Whenever you're wearing thin
Alone on the outside
So tired of looking in
The end is uncertain
& I've never been so afraid
But I don't need a telescope to see that there's hope
& that makes me feel brave
