Riptide Lyrics

[Intro: Sophi Alexis & Alex G]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1: Sophi Alexis, with Alex G]
I was scared of dentists and the dark
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Oh, all my friends are turning green
You're the magician's assistant in their dreams

[Pre-Chorus: Alex G, with Sophi Alexis]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh

And they come unstuck

[Chorus: Sophi Alexis & Alex G]
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

[Verse 2: Alex G, with Sophi Alexis]
There's this movie that I think you'll like
Guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City
This cowboy's running from himself
And she's been living on the highest shelf

[Pre-Chorus: Sophi Alexis & Alex G]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
And they come unstuck

[Chorus: Sophi Alexis & Alex G]
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

[Bridge: Sophi Alexis, with Alex G]
I just wanna, I just wanna know
If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay
I just gotta, I just gotta know
I can't have it, I can't have it any other way

I swear she's destined for the screen
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen

[Chorus: Alex G, (Sophi Alexis), Sophi Alexis & Alex G, with Torri Horness]
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
(Oh, whoa)
Lady, running down to the riptide (Oh whoa, oh-oh-oh)
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
