Riptide Lyrics By Vance Joy

    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 dreams

    pre
    oh ohooh and they come unstuck

    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

    here’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
    oh ohooh and they come unstuck

    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 just wanna i just wanna know
    if you’re gonna if you’re gonna stay
    i just gotta i just gotta know
    i can’t have it i can’t have it any other way
    i swear she’s destined for the screen
    closest thing to michelle pfeiffer that you’ve ever seen oh

    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

    oh 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

    oh 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 yeah
    i got a lump in my throat ’cause
    you’re gonna sing the words wrong
