About This Track

'Waves' by TEN is a 2025 track from 'STUNNER - The 2nd Mini Album'. The lyrics weigh up travel and distance, trading a city skyline for ocean waves while voicing reluctance to return. There is a restless, clock-driven urgency too, with lines about having to leave at 5 and trying to find a way forward. At the same time, the song keeps circling back to a person who will not shift from the mind, even as the speaker closes their eyes and sees “the reasons”. The refrain of staying suggests a negotiation between impulse and obligation, delivered with a tight, repetitive insistence.

"Waves" is a track by TEN, from the album STUNNER - The 2nd Mini Album, released 24th March 2025. The track is 2:55 long. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about TEN.

Lyrics

Waves

Traded in a skyline for these ocean waves
Home is such a long flight, a long flight to take
And I don't wanna go back oh I swear there's no way
Yeah so what if I stay, stay, stay

As I close my eyes
I see all the reasons why you're on my mind
All the time
Gotta leave at 5
Tryna find excuses just to stay a while
Let me, let me, let me, let me in your

Waves
And I know we'll be ok
Long as the ocean waves don't break
All I wanna do is spend some time in your waves
What if I stay for days
Let all the troubles wash away
So just let me, let me, let me, let me in your waves

Do you mind if I dive into you with my feet first
I wanna leave here with an imprint of you
So how about we find a place far away
Yeah what do you say, say, say

As I close my eyes
I see all the reasons why you're on my mind
All the time
Gotta leave at 5
Tryna find excuses just to stay a while
Let me, let me, let me, let me in your

Waves
And I know we'll be ok
Long as the ocean waves don't break
All I wanna do is spend some time in your waves
What if I stay for days
Let all the troubles wash away
So just let me, let me, let me, let me in your waves

I'm tryna keep, I'm tryna keep my cool
But I don't mind if I lose it for you
Drifting away, as long as it's in your blue
I could change all of my plans
If you'd only let me, let me, let me, let me in your

Waves
And I know we'll be ok
Long as the ocean waves don't break
All I wanna do is spend some time in your waves
What if I stay for days
Let all the troubles wash away
So just let me, let me, let me, let me in your waves
