Come Rushing Over Me


I just can't resist putting the lyrics to another song by The Killers as my note. There's just something about their songs that fills my heart to the point that it might burst. I have so much love for this band and their music. Their songs take me to a place I want and need to be and they really do help me get through the best and worst of times. I am so grateful for the infinite power of music. It has inspired me to seek out what is truly good, and that is why I believe The Killers have changed my life.  

I came across a video of The Killers singing "Tidal Wave", a bonus track off of their new album Day and Age. The story behind this video is that during their concert in Boulder, Colorado in January, the mics went out. Instead of causing everything to come to a complete halt, Brandon and Dave performed "Tidal Wave" acoustic. It's beautiful.

It's moments like these that make me love The Killers even more. I really can't wait until September 26 when I get to see them myself. 


He’s always trouble with his noncomplacent 
Shotgun eyes, shotgun eyes 
His subtlety, his mystery 
Not like the other guys 

She’s always taken by his reputation 
He’s so bad, he’s so bad 
On Saturday night, they’re running for the shadows 

You say your heart ain’t ever been broken 
You think you know where you’re going 
Tidal wave 
Tidal wave come rushing over me 
You say this life has given you nothing 
You got another thing coming 
Tidal wave 
Tidal wave come rushing over me 

He’ll get a warning sign to keep his distance 
From her old man, from her old man 
Now the story of forbidden love 
Has gotta make a stand 

So in the middle of the early morning 
They’ll slip away, slip away 
And we know they’ll do their best 
Somewhere in the golden west 

Oh yeah, and we’ll watch them drive 
They’re so alive 

You say your heart ain’t ever been broken 
You think you know where you’re going 
Tidal wave 
Tidal wave come rushing over me, 
You say this life has given you nothing 
You got another thing coming 
Tidal wave, 
Tidal wave come rushing over me 
Tidal wave 

These tidal waves are caught off track,
Come tomorrow, cause I can’t go back 
All together, can’t you see 
Tidal wave gonna cover me. 
These tidal waves are caught off track, 
Come tomorrow, cause I can’t go back 
Come together, can’t you see 
Tidal wave gonna cover me. 

Cover me 
I can’t go back 
Can’t you see
