Against the Tide

Underneath the faded sky,

Two hearts beat against the tide.

Whispers in the dark of night,

But love will rise, we'll take our flight.

Met under the streetlight, shadows tall,

You had your dreams, I had my walls.

From broken homes and silent screams,

We're the fighters, we're the dreams.

But your mama's eyebrows furrow tight,

Says I’m trouble, I’m not right.

But she can’t see the way we shine,

In a world that tells us we’re not fine.

So hold on, my love, the night is long,

We’ll face the storms and we'll stay strong.

Through heartbreak and the tears we hide,

I’m yours forever, let’s take the ride.

Stories told with scars and sighs,

In the rearview, our past flies.

But in the wreckage, love has bloomed,

With every shadow, our hearts loomed.

She doesn’t know the strength we share,

Can’t erase the love we dare.

Lost in the echoes of our childhood fears,

But you and I, we'll persevere.

So hold on, my love, the night is long,

We’ll face the storms and we'll stay strong.

Through heartbreak and the tears we hide,

I’m yours forever, let’s take the ride.

If she could see the way you shine,

Maybe she’d understand these hearts of mine.

With a fire forged in the darkest days,

We're the love that won't fade away.

So hold on, my love, the night is long,

We’ll face the storms and we'll stay strong.

Through heartbreak and the tears we hide,

I’m yours forever, let’s take the ride.

Underneath the faded sky,

Two hearts beat against the tide.

No mama’s frown can tear us apart,

We’ve found our way; we’ve found our heart.
