[Chorus: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft]
You leave with the tide
And I can't stop you leaving
I can see it in your eyes
Some things have lost their meaning

[Verse 1: Oliver Sim, Romy Madley Croft & Both]
Devote to me
Alone with me
Say with me
"Why would you ever want to leave?"

[Chorus: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft]
You leave with the tide
And I can't stop you leaving
I can see it in your eyes
Some things have lost their meaning

[Verse 2: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft]
Fade out of view
I wouldn't do that to you
I wouldn't just leave us alone
When we could be close, close, close

[Verse 3: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft]
Hold me close
When you could leave us alone
Why would you just leave us alone
When we have been close, close?
