The coast is clear

The tide is high, the coast is clear
but things aren't always as they appear
They say change is good
but I believe that change is bad
Time is erasing everything that we had
I must have read the signs wrong,
I feel us fading, you're almost gone
you've made me afraid to express my feelings to you
and I know by now, its what you always do
I wanted you to go out and get drunk
so for once I could steal what you feel
Its the only time your honest and sincere
The first time I heard about you, I knew I had to meet you
The first time I saw you, I knew I wanted you
The first time I kissed you, I knew I needed you
I assume you didn't feel the same way
you were sweet at night, but different in the day
