Take, take it all away, save my heart for another day
I'm up late on the telephone, and I'm all alone with the dial tone
Wait, wait 'til the sun is up, drown my dreams in a coffee cup
Palms out, wanna beg for luck, but I'm way too proud, never giving up
Oh, something's gotta happen
Something's gotta give and something's got to break
I know, someday it's gonna happen
Someday it's gonna give, can't always be this way
And if the riptide comes to get me
And pulls me under, it won't upset me, I'll go down
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'll throw the white flag of surrender
Knock me down, not forever, just for now
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Give, give everything I've got, out of reach, but I'll take a shot
Kick rocks in the parking lot, feel like giving up, but I'll never stop
Run, run, running like a fool, never win if you never lose
And find hope and a little truth
Gonna learn new tricks, gotta jump through hoops
Oh, something's gotta happen
Something's gotta give and something's got to break
I know, someday it's gonna happen
Someday it's gonna give, can't always be this way
And if the riptide comes to get me
And pulls me under, it won't upset me, I'll go down
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'll throw the white flag of surrender
Knock me down, not forever, just for now
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Not forever, just for now
Not forever, just for now
Not forever, not forever
Not forever, won't stay down
Not forever, just for now
Not forever, just for now
Not forever, not forever
Not forever, won't stay down
And if the riptide comes to get me
And pulls me under, it won't upset me, I'll go down
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'll throw the white flag of surrender
Knock me down, not forever, just for now
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
And if the riptide comes to get me
And pulls me under, it won't upset me, I'll go down
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'll throw the white flag of surrender
Knock me down, not forever, just for now
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
