Lyrics
[Produced and mixed by Shellback and Max Martin]
[sleek, modern production with clear vocals, Dolby Atmos mix, high-fidelity, high-definition audio and wide stereo, Vocals cut through mix, strong vocal performance]
[catchy guitar intro]
[Vocals underwater]
(Another riptide summertime)
[Verse 1]
Uneven roads fill up with anxious minds
Our heartbeats racing close behind
Like a thread we fray our nerves,
then choke down every single word,
before it catches wind
and casts away what's left...
of our innocence
[pre-chorus]
I see the world held in your
eyes
A crashing wave in marble
skies
Into the ocean blue
We collide!
[Chorus]
Burn up your heart in the UV light;
You know its beat won't last the night
(yeah)
We can't fight love in the summer days
If we keep our heads above the waves
Time dilates as we swim deeper,
Our voices ring out into the ether
Hold my hand as we survive
Another riptide summertime
[Verse 2]
You pour out words with whisky eyes
Burns like bourbon,
tastes like lies,
The morning after
like sweet red wine
The brandy settles into the night
As I hold on for my life
[pop hooks]
[pre-chorus]
I see the world held in your
eyes
A crashing wave in marble
skies
Into the ocean blue
We collide! (we colli-i-i-ide...)
[Chorus]
Burn up your heart in the UV light;
You know its beat won't last the night
(yeah)
We can't fight love in the summer days
If we keep our heads above the waves
Time dilates as we swim deeper,
Our voices ring out into the ether
Hold my hand as we survive (survive)
Another riptide (riptide) summertime
summertime
summer
summertime...
[heavy transition to bridge]
[breakdown]
...Uneven roads fill up with anxious minds
Our heartbeats racing close behind
Like a thread we fray our nerves,
then choke down every single word,
before it catches wind
and casts away what is left...
[transition to chorus]
[silence]
[Build-up to chorus]
[Chorus]
Burn up your heart in the UV light;
You know its beat won't last the night (YEAH!)
We can't fight love in the summer days
If we keep our heads above the waves
Time dilates as we swim deeper,
Our voices ring out into the ether
Hold my hand as we survive (We survive)
Another riptide summertime
Another riptide summertime
[Instrumental overture]
[Emotional Overture]
[end song]
