lyrics

Starfish comes in on a full moon tide
Riding high, feeling fine, like summertime
Thinking that his life’s been how it should be
For a while

Suddenly the sea recedes into the dark
Leaving the starfish high and dry
Left to wonder how things fell apart,
How to stay alive,
And cling to hope somehow…

Nowhere to go but up
Nowhere to go but up
Got nowhere left to go but up,
Says the tide.

This is the lowest I have ever felt
The starfish thinks, and cries
I’m all alone here in this empty place
I don’t belong…

So much unrealized inside me
I could be so much more than this
Just need one wave to come and set me free
With the rush
Of hope replacing fear

Nothing to do but rise
Nothing to do but rise
Got nothing left to do but rise,
Says the tide.

The starfish thinks of how it used to be
When every current went his way
Never imagined ending up like this:
Giving up

But as the light returns across the sky
There’s a tiny change too small to see
Scared to believe it, but he can’t deny
This sound he knows
The tide is racing in…

Nothing to do but rise
Nothing to do but rise
Got nothing left to do but rise,
Says the tide.
Nowhere to go but up
Nowhere to go but up
Got nowhere left to go but up,
Says the tide.
