The Tide
And there's three, count 'em-three
Children playing on the beach.
They were eager to learn,
To be taught, and to teach
There's Veronica;
She's biting her lip
As she watches the waves turn white at the tip.
And there's Vaida;
Radiating with joy,
And luckily she still can't stand the sight of a boy.
And lastly there's Dade;
His hair dances in the wind,
And he's wondering what love is,
And why it has to end.
And he can't understand
How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends.
His mother whispers quietly;
Heaven's not a place that you go when you die.
It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive
So live for the moment,
And take this advice, live by every word,
Love is just a hoax so forget anything that you have heard
And live for the moment now.
And there's three, count 'em-three
Children growing on the beach.
They were eager to learn,
To be taught, and to teach
There's Veronica;
She's licking her lips
As she waits for her real, first passionate kiss.
And there's Vaida;
She can't admit her jealousy
Of her sister Veronica, and how she's so pretty.(and how she's so pretty)
And lastly there's Dade;
Still sitting on the dock,
He ponders his life, and he skips his rocks.
And he wonders when his father will return,
But he's not coming back.
And he can't understand
How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends.
His mother whispers quietly;
Heaven's not a place that you go when you die,
It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive,
So live for the moment.
And take this advice, live by every word,
Love is just a hoax so forget everything that you have heard.
(Forget everything)
And there's three, count 'em-three
Children missing from the beach.
They were eager to learn,
To be taught, and to teach.
But the sad thing
Is that they never lived passed the age of fifteen
Due to neglect from their mother,
Who was bed ridden by her ex-lover, their father.
And she didn't even notice, or pay much attention
As the tide came in and swept her three into the ocean.
Now all her advice, it seems useless.
Well, heaven's not a place that you go when you die.
It's that moment in life when you touch your edge and you feel alive.
So live for the moment.
And take this advice, live by every word,
Love's completely real,
So forget anything that you have heard,
And live for the moment now
Its funny how this song actually captured how life is like the tide. It comes and it leaves. Much like love. There's always someone who says they have your back, your heart and your best interests in mind or hand. But somehow they always seem to leave. Its almost as if love really is a hoax reguardless of who it comes from.
