Lyrics

Waves

[Verse 1]

There is a swelling storm

And I'm caught up in the middle of it all

And it takes control of the person that I thought I was

The boy I used to know

But there is a light in the dark

And I feel its warmth

In my hands, in my heart

But why can't I hold on?

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause it comes and goes in waves

It always does

It always does

We watch as our young hearts fade

Into the flood

Into the flood

[Chorus]

And the freedom of falling

And the feeling I thought was set in stone

It slips through my fingers

And I'm trying hard to let go

But it comes and goes in waves

'Cause it comes and goes in waves

And carries us away

[Verse 2]

Through the wind

Down to the place we used to lay when we were kids

Memories of a stolen place

Caught in the silence

An echo lost in space

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause it comes and goes in waves

It always does

It always does

We watch as our young hearts fade

Into the flood

Into the flood

[Chorus]

And the freedom of falling

And the feeling I thought was set in stone

It slips through my fingers

And I'm trying hard to let go

But it comes and goes in waves

'Cause it comes and goes in waves

And carries us away

[Bridge]

I've watched my wild youth disappear in front of my eyes

Moments of magic and wonder

It seems so hard to find

Is it ever coming back again?

Is it ever coming back again?

Take me back to the feeling when

Everything was left to find

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause it comes and goes in waves

It always does

It always does

We watch as our young hearts fade

Into the flood

Into the flood

[Chorus]

And the freedom of falling

And the feeling I thought was set in stone

It slips through my fingers

And I'm trying hard to let go

But it comes and goes in waves

It comes and goes in waves

And carries us away

Carries us away

Carries us away
