Lyrics
DJ dey spin Fela, sweat dripping from the ceiling fan
My boys dey shout 'Omo!', but my thumb is making other plans
This room is a current, pulling me far from the coast
Of the cool-headed man I promised myself I would be the most.
[Chorus]
High tide in my chest tonight, no go fit fight am
I'm sending the message, I no go fit hide am
Yeah, the high tide in my chest tonight, it's taking over me
Omo, it’s taking over me.
[Verse 2]
Remember Bar Beach, harmattan season, the air was cool and thin
You traced the salt on my skin, swore you'd never let the ocean in
Now I'm swimming in the noise, searching for that quiet shore
But every beat of this log drum just makes me want you more.
[Chorus]
High tide in my chest tonight, no go fit fight am
I'm sending the message, I no go fit hide am
Yeah, the high tide in my chest tonight, it's taking over me
Omo, it’s taking over me.
[Bridge]
And every logical current screams for me to let you be
But this foolish heart is a ship lost at sea.
[Chorus]
High tide in my chest tonight, no go fit fight am
I'm sending the message, I no go fit hide am
Yeah, the high tide in my chest tonight, it's taking over me
Omo, it’s taking over me.
[Outro]
The message is sent... the breaking wave.
