Some nights I see myself trying to hold back the tide
Standing in the water with my arms flung wide
Looking at myself through another fish's eyes
Or a seagull gusted high
Carolina told me what love could really be
And as she spoke she laid it out so sure and simply
But no matter what I do I think I'm always gonna find
That I cannot bridge the gap between my heart and mind
Oh I just can't tell
Oh I don't know why
History repeats itself
Before my very eyes
Some nights I see myself being swept out to sea
With the rain and salty water dancing all around me
With the other wretched faces looking for a line
Or a hand to help us through these troubled times
Carolina showed me what life could really be
And as she spoke she laid it out so sure and simply
But no matter what I do I think I'm always gonna find
That I cannot bridge the gap between my heart and mind
Oh I just can't tell
Oh I don't know why
History repeats itself
Before my very eyes
