Towards Violet - "Riptide" Lyrics

I’m pulling you under my riptide,
Drowning you in my love.
Filling your lungs with soul you could not dream of.

We walked down the beach stepping toe in toe.
Just looking at the waves to see where we, we’d go.
I stared into your eyes to find nothing there.
Then I realized the very same.
Once again a fantasy was the culprit to blame.
I’m insane...I need to make a change.

If only I could get you to notice me beyond the friendly grin,
Of two complete strangers where ones all in.
But I don’t know what to say, you’re the girl of my dreams.
Lets skip the in between and dive in.
Lets skip the in between and dive in. 

I’m pulling you under my riptide,
Drowning you in my love.
Filling your lungs with soul you could not dream of.

We walked down the beach burying our toes in the sand.
Leaving the coast heading for our end.
Fantasy is you and me and realities’ a sham.
As long as I’m somewhere with you I have a plan. 
Cause’ I’ve watched you stealing glances.
Is this all in my head?
I just want wake up with an angel in my bed. 

I’m pulling you under my riptide,
Drowning you in my love.
Filling your lungs with soul you could not dream of.
Deeper and deeper I pull your lips,
Ever so gently up to mine and breath the sweetness.
The sweetness of overwhelming bliss.
Whoa oh oh
Your true first kiss.

Riptide

"Castle" Lyrics:

She smiles,
She whispers those unspoken words
Of secrets I hope are of me…
She giggles,
She stares through her black silky hair
Eyes transfixed on me…
I can’t force myself to see.

Are these the eyes of a friendship to come?
Or is she eyeing me?
Are these the eyes that will mend my soul?
Are these the eyes…?
I don’t know.

Alone with my thoughts nostalgia came knocking,
Torturous searing pain.
Her fists fell upon me like the disinterest
Of so many who could have meant
Everything to me.

The bitter cold winds of November
Make me fear December.
She cuts through my thoughts as I escape hers
As if I was never there at all.

For I am alone with my thoughts…
The thought of me is alone;
Having no home but in the mind of my own,
Of my own.

Never thought that you could be
Anything to me
Guess I was right
When I waited up for you all night
Guess I’ll never be
Guess you’ll never be
Anything to me

Castle

"Austin Street" by Towards Violet
Copyright 2015

Lyrics:

As we walked down Austin street,
You gave me reason to believe,
Something more than I thought could be.
Friends? Romance?
Either Circumstance would great by me.

Well, you took me to your favorite places
And showed me your familiar faces
Promising I would be one too.

Shared the darkest parts of us we swore we’d never tell…

Though our live seem like hell,
We found refuge in each other.

A connection like no other felt before…

You promised me a chance to be a part of you.
You swore to me! You swore to me that you wanted it too.
But you left me chasing the ghost of you.
You promised me a chance to be a part of you.
You swore to me! You swore to me that you wanted it too.
But you left me stranded chasing the ghost of you.

I messaged you all the time and fell every time you had none for me.
Who really has no time?
I mean…we have to eat, now don’t we?

Now my life feels like hell.
With no chance of us together.
A deception like so many have felt before.

You promised me a chance to be a part of you.
You swore to me! You swore to me that you wanted it too.
But you left me chasing the ghost of you.
You promised me a chance to be a part of you.
You swore to me! You swore to me that you wanted it too.
But you left me stranded chasing the ghost of you.

You said you’d make time for me
But I guess I’m not a priority.
I guess I’ll never be…

You lied to me.
