Orange Oyster - Tide of Time

{intro}
Like a dusty story book unopened on a shelf
A silly movie left on playing in an empty room
Before you know, the sceneries fade
And the credits start to roll
Leaving you within the darkness all alone

{verse 1}
Looking back to what was just a simple beginning
Laughters in the evening amidst the setting sun
As if painting a beautiful scenery
I head back again embroidering those days long gone

{pre-chorus}
What i once thought were the mundane things
Growing more and more perplexing
What i once loved had plunged me
Into cycling of fear and holding on-
To the hope of one day returning
Back to the life i’d known
Before everything was swallowed by a greyish blue

{chorus}
The tide of time, the tide of time
All those years i have longed for
Ebb and flowing through my mind
Those frivolous promises we made
Dissolved into a foamy white
Into the ocean, and only leaving regrets behind

{verse 2}
Sometimes wish i didn’t always have to notice
The way you sighed when lonely on your own
All i could do was standing there frozen
Just what was i so afraid of? (ah)

{pre-chorus}
What i thought were the simple meanings turned out
More and more confusing
The countless times of losing threw me
In a maze of what-if-onlys
Time and time i broke and shattered
Time and time got pieced together
Over and over until i lost myself amongst-

{chorus}
The tide of time, the tide of time
I watched on as things i held
Slowly losing their light
Those eyes and smile i’d known that day
Vanished back to where they came
Into the ocean, and only wistful lament remains

{pre-chorus}
Time and time i broke and shattered
Time and time got pieced together
Over and over until i’d lost myself amongst-

{chorus}
The tide of time, the tide of time
All the words i cannot phrase
Have come back to lead me astray
I wish for you to stay by my side
Please tell me it will be alright for one more night
Oh please, don’t leave me behind
Alone to roaring of the-

Tide of time, the tide of time
All these years drifting by
Chasing after self-soothing lies
If i allow myself to dissolve away
Will i then come to realise (oh oh ooh)
Of the beauty in the fleeting remnants from a dream
Of the fool i am, stranded by the
Tide of time
