As the moon ORBITS the earth its gravitational pull on a major ocean creates a LOW tide around that ocean by drawing a large volume of water towards it causing a bulge in the water.
Conversely, as the moon's position relative to the major ocean changes its effect will be less, therefore the water returns to its original level and a HIGH tide will occur around the ocean.
Since the Mediterranean Sea is a comparatively small body of water then it does not experience tides.
Although there is water in the human body the moon has no effect upon it. However, at one time it was thought the moon did affect some people and make them insane.
These unfortunates were known as LUNATICS. LUNAR being a reference to the moon.

IT goes wherever it wants-- I don't think the tide going out would make the slightest difference.
Alternatively it could be a planetary thing caused by the gravitational pull of youranus. It happened to me once when I first attemped watersking in rather loose shorts.
The amount of seawater consumed by myanus was gigantic and when I did eventually go it felt like the tide was indeed retreating.

It goes to the cinema and then maybe for a Chinese.
Is is the moons gravitational pull which causes the seas to buldge in the middle, therefore making the tide go out.

It's a bit like moving your arm. When you stop it's still there.
The tide is the ocean's volume of water that increases or decreases twice each lunar day. That is to say it is subject to gravitation pull.
The Sun provides one portion and the Moon another.
When they are both in line, Equinox, the tides vary accordingly.
The aforesaid volume is also influenced by currents and of course oceanic weather conditions then they make up Gulf Streams etc.

It really doesn't go anywhere. The water is displaced a relatively short distance due to the 'tidal bulge' but the water pretty much goes back where it was in the first place. The actual movement of water is mostly caused by currents formed by other forces such as temperature.

It goes to where the tide is high. Tides are caused by the pull of the moon and sun. When it is low (out) somewhere it is high (in) somewhere else.

Don't really understand the question, where does your tide go? What tide? is this a metaphor?
the other answers are better than mine if it isn't a metaphor. I suggest choosing the one that is simplest with the most facts.
good luck,

the sea just gets deeper in the middle as the gravitational pull from the moon draws the water up slightly

IT bulges up in middle due to gravitational attraction of the moon
