He's always trouble with his noncomplacent
Shotgun eyes, shotgun eyes
His subtlety, his mystery
Not like the other guys

She's always taken by his reputation
He's so bad, he's so bad
On Saturday night, they're running for the shadow

You say your heart ain't ever been broken
You think you know where you're going
Tidal wave
Tidal wave come rushing over me
You say this life has given you nothing
You got another thing coming
Tidal wave
Tidal wave come rushing over me

He'll get a warning sign to keep his distance
From her old man, from her old man
Now the story of forbidden love
Has gotta make a stand

So in the middle of the early morning
They'll slip away, slip away
And we know they'll do their best
Somewhere in the golden west

Oh yeah, and we'll watch them drive
They're so alive

You say your heart ain't ever been broken
You think you know where you're going
Tidal wave
Tidal wave come rushing over me
You say this life has given you nothing
You got another thing coming
Tidal wave
Tidal wave come rushing over me
Tidal wave

These tidal waves are caught off track
Come tomorrow, cause I can't go back
Altogether, can't you see
Tidal wave gonna cover me.
These tidal waves are caught off track
Come tomorrow, cause I can't go back
Come together, can't you see
Tidal wave gonna cover me.

Cover me
I can't go back
Can't you see
