Waves

I thought that I knew love

But it was just a wave crashing over us

In the breaths between the ones we meant to breathe

I had my head under my feet

You knew the way things were

You knew the way they would be

We knew exactly how it'd end

Strays on a stale sea

Oh anchored the engine to a canyon far beneath

Water rushed up from the boards below

So I started slickin' my hair with the kerosene

You knew the way things were

You knew the way they would be

We knew exactly how it'd end

Now I'm preparing for a burial at sea

But I can't see the lighthouse

Yeah I'm praying that these waters don't take me

Cause I can't see the lighthouse

I was screaming that the ship was sinking

But you were telling me to just keep drinking

Quartered into parts again

Arms and legs at the bottom of the ocean

And the thing that made it so much harder

Was the fact that you were someone's daughter

I knew the way things were

I knew the way they would be

I knew exactly how it'd end

And I can't see the lighthouse

And I'm preparing for a burial at sea

But I can't see the lighthouse

Yeah I'm praying that these waters don't take me

Cause I can't see the lighthouse

Yeah I can't see the lighthouse

I thought that I knew love

But it was just a wave crashing over us
