[Chorus: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft]
You leave with the tide
And I can't stop you leaving
I can see it in your eyes
Some things have lost their meaning
[Verse 1: Oliver Sim, Romy Madley Croft & Both]
Devote to me
Alone with me
Say with me
"Why would you ever want to leave?"
[Chorus: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft]
You leave with the tide
And I can't stop you leaving
I can see it in your eyes
Some things have lost their meaning
[Verse 2: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft]
Fade out of view
I wouldn't do that to you
I wouldn't just leave us alone
When we could be close, close, close
[Verse 3: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft]
Hold me close
When you could leave us alone
Why would you just leave us alone
When we have been close, close?
[Chorus: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft]
You leave with the tide
And I can't stop you leaving
I can see it in your eyes
Some things have lost their meaning
You leave with the tide
And I can't stop you leaving
I can see it in your eyes
Some things have lost their meaning
Tides was written by Jamie xx & Romy & Oliver Sim.
Tides was produced by Jamie xx.
Jamie xx: “We were in a lull trying to work on something else and not getting anywhere so we just started playing this and by the end of the night we had a song.”
Romy Madley Croft: “[‘Tides’] is quite a new thing for us. It’s a bit of a different groove. Oliver plays quite a fun bass line.”
