[Verse 1]
We cloud people, we live in gray
What we don't need, release in rain
We cloud people, we never stay

You'll never be mine
We won't be dry soon (Won't be dry)
Here come the tides
You move when I do (Won't be mine)
You'll never be mine
We won't be dry soon (Won't be dry)
Here come the tides
You move when I do (Won't be mine)
You'll never be mine
