We say we don't want our lives to change, but maybe we do
Could be something waiting on the bright side for me and you

All the fishing boats coming home through the narrows
All the kids playing castaways swimming in the shallows
Sometimes when you come so close I have to turn away
Sometimes I'm too lost to know what to say

But I know we've gotta stay close to stay together
This is life. It ebbs and flows with the tide every day for worse or better
And we all know nothing lasts forever
And life. It ebbs and flows

Butterfly lands on my arm, so fragile and flitting
I feel time stop, no guards up just living in feeling

All the fishing boats coming home through the narrows
All the kids playing castaways swimming in the shallows
Sometimes when you come so close I have to turn away
Sometimes I'm too lost to know what to say

But I know we've gotta stay close to stay together
This is life. It ebbs and flows with the tide every day for worse or better
And we all know nothing lasts forever
And life. It ebbs and flows

This is life
It ebbs and flows
It ebbs and flows

We've gotta stay close 
Stay together
Stay together

All the fishing boats coming home through the narrows
All the kids playing castaways swimming in the shallows
Sometimes when you come so close I have to turn away
Sometimes I'm too lost to know what to say

But I know we've gotta stay close to stay together
This is life. It ebbs and flows with the tide every day for worse or better
And we all know nothing lasts forever
And life. It ebbs and flows

Life. It ebbs and flows
Life. It ebbs and flows
