Turn of the Tide lyrics

There's a tear in the sky

where the blue used to be.

There's a mystery guest

instead of me.

Oh, you slip back downward,

lose your grip,

fall close to the fire,

jump back so quick.

Night falls on a dead street.

I think you're better off alive.

Just a handful of love, girl...

...is the turn of the tide

(handful of love is the turn of the tide).

...is the turn of the tide.

(Nothing to lose, nothing to hide).

Gotta break out from inside.

(Handful of love is the turn of the tide).

Get to the heart of the matter.

No, don't go around.

Don't keep it confidential,

say it out loud.

Rigid isolation

will cuff your wrist,

gonna hold you in possession,

make you shake and twist.

There's a hairline fracture

in the world outside.

Just a handful of love, girl...

...is the turn of the tide

(handful of love is the turn of the tide).

...is the turn of the tide.

(Nothing to lose, nothing to hide).

Gotta break out from inside.

(Change is breaking out from inside).  

...is the turn of the tide

(handful of love is the turn of the tide).

Oh, you can keep pretending.

You can let it ride.

Just a handful of love, girl...

...is the turn of the tide

(handful of love is the turn of the tide).

...is the turn of the tide.

(Nothing to lose, nothing to hide).

Gotta break out from inside.

(Change is breaking out from inside).  

...is the turn of the tide

(handful of love is the turn of the tide).

(Handful of love is the turn of the tide).

...is the turn of the tide.

(Nothing to lose, nothing to hide).

Gotta break out from inside.

(Change is breaking out from inside).

...is the turn of the tide

(handful of love is the turn of the tide).

(Handful of love is the turn of the tide).

(Handful of love is the turn of the tide).

(Handful of love is the turn of the tide).
