Below, you will find the lyrics for Riptide by Vance Joy.
Verse 1
I was scared of dentists and the dark
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
All my friends are turning green
You're the magician's assistant in their dreams
Chorus 1
And they come unstuck
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I want to be your left hand man
I love you
When you're singing that song and
Chorus 1
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're going to sing the words wrong
Verse 2
There's this movie that I think you'll like
This guy decides to quit his job
And heads to New York City
Verse 2
This cowboy's running from himself
And she's been living on the highest shelf
Chorus 2
And they come unstuck
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I want to be your left hand man
I love you
When you're singing that song and
Chorus 2
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're going to sing the words wrong
I just want to, I just want to know
Bridge
If you're going to, if you're going to stay
I just got to, I just got to know
Bridge
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
Chorus 3
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I want to be your left hand man
I love you
When you're singing that song and
Chorus 3
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're going to sing the words wrong
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I want to be your left hand man
I love you
When you're singing that song and
Chorus 3
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're going to sing the words wrong
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I want to be your left hand man
I love you
When you're singing that song and
Chorus 3
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're going to sing the words wrong, yeah
I got a lump in my throat cause
You're going to sing the words wrong
