Under the Tide Lyrics

I'm watching you run
Run from the sidelines

Take in a breath
Fill in your lungs
Keeping you alive

No fear
I'll your eyes
I'll be a lifeline

And if I can be
I'll be your strength
And it won't be long now

Head up, head up
Keep holding, holding
Your head up, head up
Keep holding, holding

If you can see
And you believe
Why are you so scared

But if you don't care
Then why are we here
And what do you have left

Head up, head up
Keep holding, holding
Your head up, head up
Keep holding, holding

Don't you take another step
Away from here
I would go anywhere with you
What a lie

I'll break down
But you will never see
Tell me, are you happy?
Are you really happy?

Stay Under the Tide
Stay in my eye line
Looking ahead, there is a chance
Wherever it all ends

Head up, head up
And stay strong
Holding your head up, head up
Keep holding, holding

Under the Tide Song Chart

This is one of two songs on The Bones of What You Believe that features Martin Doherty singing lead rather than regular vocalist Lauren Mayberry. The other is "You Caught the Light" - respectively they close out sides A and B of the LP. Doherty told Consequence of Sound that the trio are meticulous with sequencing and "don't buy into the idea that the album, as a format, is over."

The song's music video was directed by Sing J. Lee (Gorgon City's "Ready For Your Love," Charli XCX's "Boom Clap"). The clip blends a trippy anime story about space and loss with footage of Doherty singing the track.
