Rob Klajda - Riptide lyrics

I cant turn around now Im already half way there I might not make it all the way At this point I dont care Its all about the ride All about the fight Swimming across the riptide Swimming into the light Its all a big clich Water flowing, making waves Life goes on So they say You never know when you wake up If its your last day Choose your battles wisely Until theyre chosen for you Once you accept the mission Theres nothing more to do They say youre measured By what you leave behind I cant say thats not true But every ship outruns its wake Before drifting out of view The sun still shines without you The trees are blooming The birds are singing The kids are playing And Im still living But every day I wonder Why you swam away so soon
