Riptide is my metaphor for people drifting apart. Once again the producer is Corin Anderson and Natalia Corvington delivers a compelling vocal.

Lyrics
I thought I was living it up
I was giving it up
All for you
I thought the sky would clear
New atmosphere
Clouds rolling
I'm caught on the riptide.
I'm washed away
I'm caught on the riptide
A castaway, yeah
I failed the test of time, of reason and rhyme
You're calling
I've seen the telltale signs
The pull of the tide
Waves rolling
I'm caught on the riptide.
I'm washed away
I'm caught on the riptide
A castaway, yeah
You're left on the rocks now baby
You're stranded for sure
So fragile and lost and grounded
Keep to the left side
While I'm drifting on
I'm caught on the riptide.
I'm washed away
I'm caught on the riptide
A castaway, yeah
I can't face this storm no more
I can't take this storm no more
I can't fight this storm no more
I can't fight this storm alone
I'm caught on the riptide.
I'm washed away
I'm caught on the riptide
I'm dragged away, yeah
I'm caught on the riptide.
I'm washed away
I'm caught on the riptide
A castaway, yeah
I can't fight this storm alone
