Turn The Tide

It's time to turn the tide, time to trim the tree Time to send a beam to light the darkness hiding inside of me And baby, when's the last time we've felt a stillness deep inside It's time to trim the tree, time to turn the tide We're busy almost every single second, but we never seem to get things done We've become perfect strangers to the sight of a simple moon or a simple sun It's time to let our eyes adjust to darkness so they remember how to see It's time to turn the tide, time to trim the tree And if you feel there's been something lost I'd hope that you'd tell me despite the cost And should we spend our best years half-alone and scared Dragging the weight of all that we've never shared It's time to turn the tide, time to trim the tree Time to become something different from who we'd have thought we'd ever be And who says we're not just getting started on this crazy roller coaster ride It's time to trim the tree, time to turn the tide Take the heights from the mountains, take the depths from the sea Bring them all back home, turn the tide, trim the tree Let the saltwater flow in these tears that we've cried Let the waves crash down, trim the tree, turn the tide (I'm the sum of everything I've chosen Thanks for holding the door for me when it was closing) (4x) There's a hint of fall in the air There's a touch of grey in your hair Hold my hand as the colors change Step into the forest so deep and strange It's time to turn the tide, time to trim the tree Watching the hands of the clock or the clasp of a lock won't slow the time or set us free This is the only world we'll ever know Let's live it and let's love it with our eyes open wide It's time to trim the tree, time to turn the tide Take the heights from the mountains, take the depths from the sea Bring them all back home, turn the tide, trim the tree Let the saltwater flow in these tears that we've cried Let the waves crash down, trim the tree, turn the tide (We're the sum of everything we've chosen We'll find a way through this door as it's closing) (2x) I think I can put up with you, just keep up with me Trim the tree And let me take your weary hand, my still blushing bride Turn the tide
