Lyrics

[00:01.01] Riptide - Vance Joy
[00:10.73] I was scared of dentists and the dark
[00:13.51]
[00:15.41] I was scared of pretty girls
[00:17.40] and starting conversations
[00:19.64] Oh, all my friends are turning green
[00:23.09]
[00:24.74] You're the magician's assistant
[00:26.74] in their dreams
[00:28.00]
[00:29.50] uh ooh ooh oooh
[00:33.25]
[00:34.14] uh ooh ooh and they come unstuck
[00:38.58]
[00:39.73] Lady, running down to the riptide
[00:42.93] Taken away to the dark side
[00:45.31] I wanna be your left hand man
[00:47.68]
[00:48.55] I love you when you're singing
[00:50.79] that song and
[00:52.18] I got a lump in my throat because
[00:54.57] You're gonna sing the words wrong
[00:56.62]
[00:58.32] There's this movie that I think you'll like
[01:00.91]
[01:02.66] This guy decides to quit his job
[01:04.69] and heads to New York City
[01:07.44] This cowboy's running from himself
[01:10.26]
[01:12.23] And she's been living on the highest shelf
[01:15.19]
[01:16.85] uh ooh ooh oooh
[01:20.31]
[01:21.46] uh ooh ooh and they come unstuck
[01:25.78]
[01:26.86] Lady, running down to the riptide
[01:30.17] Taken away to the dark side
[01:32.81] I wanna be your left hand man
[01:34.94]
[01:35.79] I love you when you're singing
[01:38.14] that song and
[01:39.56] I got a lump in my throat because
[01:41.94] You're gonna sing the words wrong
[01:44.01]
[01:50.41] I just wanna, I just wanna know
[01:52.79]
[01:54.93] If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay
[01:57.52]
[01:59.43] I just gotta, I just gotta know
[02:02.12]
[02:03.59] I can't have it, I can't have it any other way
[02:07.74] I swear she's destined for the screen
[02:11.13]
[02:12.83] Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer
[02:15.30] that you've ever seen, oh
[02:17.89] Lady, running down to the riptide
[02:21.54] Taken away to the dark side
[02:23.57] I wanna be your left hand man
[02:26.07]
[02:26.84] I love you when you're singing
[02:29.36] that song and
[02:30.61] I got a lump in my throat because
[02:32.83] You're gonna sing the words wrong
[02:35.10]
[02:36.30] Oh lady, running down to the riptide
[02:40.05] Taken away to the dark side
[02:42.22] I wanna be your left hand man
[02:44.58]
[02:45.47] I love you when you're singing
[02:47.45] that song and
[02:49.08] I got a lump in my throat because
[02:51.38] You're gonna sing the words wrong
[02:53.45]
[02:54.76] Oh lady, running down to the riptide
[02:58.46] Taken away to the dark side
[03:00.85] I wanna be your left hand man
[03:03.30]
[03:04.16] I love you when you're singing
[03:06.63] that song and
[03:08.04] I got a lump in my throat because
[03:10.34] You're gonna sing the words wrong
[03:12.75] I got a lump in my throat
[03:15.09] because you're gonna sing
[03:15.97] the words wrong
[03:17.62]
