[Verse 1]
She turn it up loud
It’s beating out my heart
How I’m gonna play my cards?
I won’t think too hard about it
Yeah I’m gonna ride that wave
Had a little but I couldn’t tame it
Halfway and I felt the same shit
So just take me all the way
Oh I wanna make it far
I don’t need a place to park it
Tried to be patient bout this
But I don’t want to wait till darkness
So I’m gonna ride that wave (yeah)
If it crash I’ll take the blame
But you know I ain’t gon' wait (ain’t gon' wait)
Cause it’s crashing either way, so
[Chorus]
Don’t bother with a lifeline
I can feel the tide’s rising
And I know my time is running out
Don’t try changing my mind
I don’t need your words to live by
Baby I know my time is running out
[Verse 2]
So take another one down
Too many shots better takе my badge
Never surе what’s gonna bite me back
But I know I gotta pay my tax
And fade to black
Yeah I can count on that
And we can pray that wave will pass
But i can’t pay my debts in cash (no way)
So let’s wash them all away
And I say
[Chorus]
Don’t bother with a lifeline
I can feel the tide’s rising
And I know my time is running out
Don’t try changing my mind
I don’t need your words to live by
Baby I know my time is running
[Verse 3]
I’m heading down to the locker
Got me losing my senses till I’m made out of copper
That’s one left, built a fence and I hopped it
I guess you should call me a doctor
But call it going out on a high
Follow me girl I wouldn’t advise it
I been craving the toxic
Bout to crash in the water guess you better find me a pilot
I’m wildin' out
Big wave and it’s crashing down
But tonight that’s I’m all about
Right now I got a green light for myself
Until I’m feeling hella dreamlike
I can’t help it
Can’t be too sure it ain’t selfish
I can’t see no shore but I like this
But I like it
Yeah, I really love it
[Bridge]
So don’t bother with a lifeline
Cause that won’t matter
Just let the highest tide arrive and pull me down
It won’t matter
Just me and time
And time won’t wait, oh
[Chorus]
Don’t bother with a lifeline (yeah)
I can feel the tide’s rising (I feel it)
And I know my time is running out
Don’t try changing my mind (don’t try)
I don’t need your words to live by (don’t need no words)
Baby I know my time is running out
