In Waves

In the beginning it seemed like everything would come our way

Till someone said that all these little things they come in waves

But when the waves came in, put out the fire,

Watch they're floating away

And then the waves came in a little higher

Was left stoking the flames

And soon the waves went over my head

Oh my head, mama

And telling up from down is a task, I'm so tired mama

Now am I drifting further away? I can't tell mama

Because i still hear crashing over my head

Oh my head, woah

Above it all I know I will remember that, just you

And speaking foreign tongues until the sun disturbed and cued

But with a smile and nod it never mattered,

No knowing what you said

But when I woke, you'd gone, I'm none the wiser

I was left wondering when

And soon the waves went over my head

Oh my head, mama

And telling up from down is a task, I'm so tired mama

Now am I drifting further away? I can't tell mama

Because I still hear crashing over my head

Oh my head, well

She says

"There's so many times you bring me down,

Yet I'm around through all of it"

And I say

"Although I know you're such a maniac, I'm okay with that"

I'll just lay here

And wonder how long it'll be

Till I can sail in waves

How I wish I could

Sail in waves

Oh, I wish I could

Sail in waves

How I wish I could

Sail away
