Watching the Waves

I'm here watching the waves

Just how loud can it be

Till that melody strays

Fill my mind, and I came through

Can't see no wood for the trees

Can't tell no land from the sky

With water up to your knees

You soon found out how you filled up

I follow taste of the sweet

One more time from the top

Thoughts like crumbs in the sheets

Words thrown like coins in a cup

Just one more house in the reed

Just one more spoonful of salt

And now, I'm at it again

Banging on like it's my fault

Everythin' you are

Everythin' you are

Everythin' you are

I long to be

Everythin' you are

Everythin' you are

Everythin' you are

I long to be

I gave it all I could give

I took that ghost for my bride

Went day by day tryin' to live

With my heart on the outside

I watch the shape of it rise

That dance like wind through the weed

And steal the light from your eyes

In the space of our heartbeat

Everythin' fills with distance

Yeah, everythin'

Everythin' you are

Everythin' you are

Everythin' you are

I long to be

Everythin' you are

Everythin' you are

Everythin' you are

I long to be

Everythin' you are

Everythin' you are

Everythin' you are

I long to be

Everythin' you are

Everythin' you are

Everythin' you are

I long to be

Songs that push through the dirt

Plowin' these roads into fields

Soundin' the notes of the woods

Till everythin' fills with distance
