A Wave Across A Bay

I spoke with Scott last night I was tired but I wasn't sleeping And despite what you think I wasn't drinking I was just finally ready to listen And he was there alright And though he'd probably kill me just for saying this Given how the both of us are atheists There it is There must have been a moment Just before you hit the water When you were filled with a sense of peace and understanding With the wind in your hair And the light in your eyes As you realized you were finally escaping But somehow in that moment You miraculously missed it Like a wave across a bay never breaking And that's how I like to think of you Ever falling, never landing Rolling solely out to sea and always smiling You were always smiling Goddamn I miss you man It was just weeks before you left that we were speaking I just wish that you had told me you were leaving Before you walked your final mile I'm not pissed off at you man But you had something in your soul that we could recognize You were one of us but you'd worked out how you could survive At least for a while There must have been a moment Just before you hit the water When you were filled with a sense of peace and understanding With the wind in your hair And the light in your eyes As you realized you were finally escaping But somehow in that moment You miraculously missed it Like a wave across a bay never breaking And that's how I like to think of you Ever falling, never landing Rolling solely out to sea and always smiling You were always smiling You were a wave across a bay never breaking You were a wave across a bay never breaking Out to the sea Ever falling, never landing You were a wave across a bay never breaking You were a wave across a bay never breaking Out to the sea Ever falling, never landing You were a wave across a bay never breaking You were a wave across a bay never breaking Out to the sea You were always smiling
