I recall when you cut me loose
And let me go.
Set adrift on an ocean;
I couldn't see the shore.
But keep your eyes on the horizon
'Cause you might see me again;
'Cause the tide always comes back in.

V2 Well you pushed me out the door;
You left me in the street.
Not too smooth; not too kind;
Not too discreet.
But you know that I can always find
My way back here again;
Like the tide always comes back in.

(Chorus) Out of sight out of mind,
That's what they always say.
There were times when I hurt so bad
I nearly lost my way.
But I'm comin' round and I'm comin' back;
You'll be seeing me again;
'Cause the tide always comes back in.

(Bridge) I've been ignored and pushed around;
Taken all that you can give.
I've been evicted from my own life,
Just like I never lived.

V3 When you nailed me to a tree
You posted your own sins.
When you thought you took my life,
Well, that's when life began.
And I'm comin' back like I said I would
And no one knows just when;
But the tide always comes back in.

(Chorus) Out of sight out of mind,
That's what they always say.
When you laid me in the ground
I guess you thought I'd stay.
But keep your eyes on the horizon
You'll be seeing me again;
'Cause the tide always comes back in.
