[Verse 1]

Draw a line in the sand

Like there's nothing to regret and nothing to prove

Set my sights high enough

So I see the turning tides are parting for you


[Chorus]

Taking back an empty threat

More than you could ever know

Take it back with no regrets

I was better off when I was on your side

And I was holding on

To try and not forget

Hoping that you never know

Take it back with no regrets

I was better off when I was on your side

And I was holding on


[Verse 2]

No more time second-guessed

Like there's nothing to forget and nothing to lose

Hold my ground long enough

'Til I see the turning tides are coming from you


[Chorus]

Taking back an empty threat

More than you could ever know

Take it back with no regrets

I was better off when I was on your side

And I was holding on

To try and not forget

Hoping that you never know

Take it back with no regrets

I was better off when I was on your side


[Bridge]

If we wanna stay here, can we see the waves?

They're spilling over us, filling our insides

In the rising water, in the rising tide

They're spilling over me, filling my insides

If we wanna stay here, can we see the waves?

They're spilling over us, filling our insides

In the rising water, in the rising tide

We wait for the fall (I gotta tell ya)

Maybe the water's high (I gotta tell ya)

But I can see the difference (I gotta tell ya)

Maybe the water's high (I got-got)

But I can see the difference (Got-got, I gotta tell ya)

Maybe the water's high (I gotta tell ya)

But I can see the difference (I gotta tell ya)

Maybe the water's high (I got-got)

But I know that this is different (Got-got)


[Chorus]

Taking back an empty threat

More than you could ever know

Take it back with no regrets

I was better off when I was on your side

And I was holding on

To try and not forget

Hoping that you never know

Take it back with no regrets

I was better off when I was on your side

And I was holding on
