Waves

The sun came down and burnt your face

One way ticket from love to hate

Under where it all begins

All stood still and hollowing

The bird that fell out of its cage

Wants to go back there again

Every star is on its way

You're the only one that stayed

All the time you could have saved

All the time you gave away

You know the heart beneath the waves

The one that I was trying to save

The one that almost slipped away was mine

I was sinking at such pace

Holding breath beneath the waves

The time it takes to compensate is up

Something pulls us into shape

Leaves your body where you lay

Theories come inside my head

Filling all the spaces left

You know the heart beneath the waves

The one that I was trying to save

The one that almost slipped away was mine

I was sinking at such pace

Holding breath beneath the waves

The time it takes to compensate is up

I see the waves

And the time it takes for me to be saved

And it's easily the most powerful thing I've ever seen

And you have to know

I couldn't see it here on my own

And you have to know

I couldn't see it here all alone
