The gravitational pull of the moon causes the oceans to bulge out in the direction of the moon. Another bulge occurs on the opposite side, since the Earth is also being pulled toward the moon and away from the water on the far side. Since the earth is rotating while this is happening, two tides occur every day.

Imagine filling a bathtub with water, and then making a wave. The wave would move back and forth, form one side of the tub to the other.
Tides work the same way. The moon's gravity pulls water off to one side (high tide at one side, low tide at the other) and then it goes back, just like the bathtub wave. This happens continually back and forth, twice a day, every day.

It recedes back into the sea. The tides are controlled by the moon and ebb and flow accordingly. Notjing gets flooded because the shores are built to the high tide not the low.

It goes back to where it came from. This is an effect of the moon on tides.

it fills up all the rivers and streams on the other side and the tide moves from side to side so what comes in on your side goes out on mine

In simple terms, when it is high tide in one place it is low tide in another place.
