Walking backward down the avenue
Watching colors fade to gray and blue
Every corner has a trace of you (ahhhh)
And the wind begins to blow
cold
Stories that we never quite told
But I'm swimming up against the tide
With a heavy heart and nowhere
to hide
Yeah, I'm swimming up against the tide
Paper boats on a concrete stream
Chasing down a half-remembered dream
Nothing's quite as simple as it seemed
But I'm swimming up against the tide
With a heavy heart and nowhere
to hide
Yeah, I'm swimming up against the tide
Against the tide... (mmm-mmm)
Against the tide...
