[@oofomega3140]

OMG I love it at 0:29 when the bass kicks in!!!

[@tarantinoisahack]

It's like an 80s summer holiday in song

I'm having so much fun singing along the base! :D It's also great to appreciate everything that's hidden under the lyrics :)

[Verse 1]
Draw a line in the sand
Like there's nothing to regret and nothing to prove
Set my sights high enough
So I see the turning tides are parting for you
[Chorus]
Taking back an empty threat
More than you could ever know
Take it back with no regrets
I was better off when I was on your side
And I was holding on
To try and not forget
Hoping that you'd never know
Take it back with no regrets
I was better off when I was on your side
And I was holding on
[Verse 2]
No more time second guessed
Like there's nothing to forget and nothing to lose
Hold my ground long enough
Till I see the turning tides are coming from you
[Chorus]
Taking back an empty threat
More than you could ever know
Take it back with no regrets
I was better off when I was on your side
And I was holding on
To try and not forget
Hoping that you'd never know
Take it back with no regrets
I was better off when I was on your side
[Bridge]
If we wanna stay here, can we see the waves?
They're spilling over us, filling our insides
In the rising water, in the rising tide
They're spilling over me, filling my insides
If we wanna stay here, can we see the waves?
They're spilling over us, filling our insides
In the rising water, in the rising tide
We wait for the fall
(I gotta tell you)
Maybe the water's high
(I've gotta tell you)
But I can see the difference
(I've gotta tell you)
Maybe the water's high
(I've gotta tell you)
But I can see the difference
(I've gotta tell you)
Maybe the water's high
(I've gotta tell you)
But I can see the difference
(I've gotta tell you)
Maybe the water's high
(I've gotta tell you)
But I know that this is different
[Chorus]
Taking back an empty threat
More than you could ever know
Take it back with no regrets
I was better off when I was on your side
And I was holding on
To try and not forget
Hoping that you'd never know
Take it back with no regrets
I was better off when I was on your side
And I was holding on

Now I hear the instrumental it reminds me a bit of Human League's Electric Dreams. Great to see a current band returning to real song form. They clearly know how to craft music.

[@christinawatkinsyoutube]

these guys are getting so huge, i love it!

[@calonlan5957]

Love this! Lauren is fantastic, but sometimes I just feel like exploring the sounds underneath. Thank you for putting this together!

[@jonmin1574]

I can appreciate what you are saying

[@ashdjones]

Astounding excellence you can actually improve on + things you don't want to do multiple times.

[@jonmin1574]

What is an empty threat? Someone bluffing ?

[@laurenr4808]

Essentially, yeah.

[@ashdjones]

Related to limitations. As in, me and Alan Sugars private army are gonna trash this whole office till you buy the correct laserjet printer cartridges. Alan Sugar doesn't have a private army, you would have to convince him of that.

[@ashdjones]

So were you really going to shoot me in the neck Steven Seagal? No it was an empty threat... my gun was cooling off that hour and couldn't have shot even if I wanted it to.

[@ashdjones]

Were you really going to hang me by my tie from the football goalposts? No it was an Empty Threat, if I got expelled my mother would have killed me also.
