Taking Back Sunday – Tidal Wave lyrics

[Verse 1: Adam Lazzara]
What’s gonna happen when the old man goes
Will you embrace chaos or take control
When the guns are drawn outside your door
Will you call for peace or will you join the war
What you gonna do when the law breaks in
Will you stand your ground or confess your sins
No, no, no, no you don't know
No, no, no, no you don't know

[Verse 2: John Nolan]
Where you gonna hide all the lies you told
Can you buy back any of the soul you sold
When your will is weak and the weight is strong
Where will you go when you can't go on
What’s gonna happen on your dying day
Will you turn to dirt or find the pearly gates
No, no, no you don’t know
No, no, no you don't know

[Chorus: Adam Lazzara and John Nolan]
You can beg, you can plead, you can try, you can pray
Nothing’s gonna save you from the tidal wave
You can run, you can hide, you can leave, you can stay
Nothing’s gonna save you from the tidal wave
You can beg, you can plead, you can try, you can pray
Nothing’s gonna save you from the tidal wave
You can run, you can hide, you can leave, you can stay
Nothing’s gonna save you from the tidal wave

[Verse 3: Adam Lazzarra and John Nolan]
So what’s gonna happen when the old man goes
What’s gonna happen when the old man goes
Guns are drawn outside your door
What’s gonna happen when the old man goes
Whatcha gonna do when the law breaks in?
Whatcha gonna do when the law breaks in?
Oh no, no, no you don't know
Oh no, no, no you don’t know

[Chorus: Adam Lazzara and John Nolan]
You can beg, you can plead, you can try, you can pray
Nothing’s gonna save you from the tidal wave
You can run, you can hide, you can leave, you can stay
Nothing’s gonna save you from the tidal wave
You can beg, you can plead, you can try, you can pray
Nothing’s gonna save you from the tidal wave
Nothing’s gonna save you from the tidal wave
Nothing’s gonna save you from the tidal wave
