Lyrics

[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

[PreChorus]

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?

[Chorus]

It comes and goes in waves

It always does, always does

We watch as our young hearts fade

Into the flood, into the flood

[Chorus]

And the freedom of fallin', the feelin' I thought was set in stone

It slips through my fingers, I'm tryin' hard to let go

It comes and goes in waves

It comes and goes in waves

And carries us away

[PreChorus]

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

[Chorus]

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]

The freedom of fallin', the feelin' I thought was set in stone

It slips through my fingers, I'm tryin' hard to let go

It comes and goes in waves

It comes and goes in waves

And carries us away

[Verse 2]

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 comin' back again? Is it ever comin' back again?

Take me back to the feelin' when everything was left to find

[Chorus]

It comes and goes in waves

It always does, we always die

[Chorus]

And the freedom of fallin', the feelin' I thought was set in stone

It slips through my fingers, I'm tryin' hard to let go

It comes and goes in waves

It comes and goes in waves

And carries us away
