Riptide

1) The song describes being afraid of things like dentists, the dark, and starting conversations as a child. 2) As an adult, the singer sees a woman who is like a magician's assistant in his friends' dreams and wants to be her "left hand man". 3) The refrain describes the woman as being "taken away to the riptide" and "the dark side". The singer loves it when she sings even if she sings the words wrong.
