[Verse 1]

I've been running alone in slow motion

You're waiting back home but you're breathless

And I've been looking for someone to love

While you've been looking for someone you loved

We tossed and we turned our oceans

You're walking back home and you're breathless

Cause you were looking for someone to be someone you lost

And I just wanted to hold you

To hold you when you were lost

[Chorus]

But you hit me like a tidal wave

I could hardly run and I couldn't escape

I get the feeling that you're far away but I could feel the earthquake

Cause when you shake, I shake, we shake we shake

When you shake, I shake, we shake we shake

Try not to wonder if we're making mistakes

Or I'll be broken when the wave breaks, wave breaks

[Verse 2]

I love how you're afraid of talking too much

But I'm just afraid of not saying enough

I try to keep quiet when I'm thinking too much

Just let you sedate me

But isn't this crazy?

[Verse 3]

Look we just went from strangers to friends

Look how long it's been

Now friends to lovers and we're under covers

Can't seem to stop letting this great wall of water

Wash over my own better judgement

[Chorus]

But you hit me like a tidal wave

I could hardly run and I couldn't escape

I get the feeling that you're far away but I could feel the earthquake

Cause when you shake, I shake, we shake we shake

When you shake, I shake, we shake we shake

Try not to wonder if we're making mistakes

Or I'll be broken when the wave breaks, wave breaks

[Bridge]

But it's always the same when I catch your crystal tears

You storm my gates when no one's guarding

[Chorus]

But you hit me like a tidal wave

I could hardly run and I couldn't escape

I get the feeling that you're far away but I could feel the earthquake

Cause when you shake, I shake, we shake we shake

When you shake, I shake, we shake we shake

Try not to wonder if we're making mistakes

Or I'll be broken, or I'll be broken

But you hit me like a tidal wave

I could hardly run and I couldn't escape

I get the feeling that you're far away but I could feel the earthquake

Cause when you shake, I shake, we shake we shake

When you shake, I shake, we shake we shake

Try not to wonder if we're making mistakes

Or I'll be broken when the wave breaks, wave breaks
