tidal wave

The water is high and I'm getting older

And I thought by now that I would be stronger

But I cry when the lights go out

Yeah, I cry though my tears run out

Three doors down it was full of laughter

When you used to call and say, "Can she come over?"

And we'd lie under a summer sun

And our lives, they had just begun

Hey

Please don't go again

I promise to pretend

You didn't try to smoke that cigarette

Before I forget

I just wanna say

I'm gonna love you anyway

My mind is loud, it has its own city

The people crowd 'cause they feel so shitty

So I'll make them a tidal wave

Take a breath and get washed away

Hey

Please don't go again

I promise to pretend

I wasn't gonna smoke that cigarette

Before I forget

I just wanna say

I'm gonna love you anyway

I'm gonna love you anyway

I'm gonna love you anyway

I'm gonna love you

Hey

Please don't go again

I promise to pretend

There's never been a day that I regret

Before I forget

I just wanna say

I'm gonna love you anyway
