A Wave Across a Bay Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I spoke with Scott last night
I was tired, but I wasn't sleeping
And despite what you think, I wasn't drinking
I was just finally ready to listen

And he was there alright
And though he'd probably kill me just for saying this
Given how the both of us are atheists
But there it is

[Chorus]
There must have been a moment just before you hit the water
When you were filled with a sense of peace and understanding
With the wind in your hair and the light in your eyes
As you realised you were finally еscaping
But somehow, in that moment, you miraculously miss it
Like a wavе across a bay never breaking
And that's how I like to think of you
Ever falling, never landing
Rolling slowly out to sea and always smiling
You were always smiling

[Verse 2]
God damn, I miss you, man
It was just weeks before you went that we were speaking
I just wish that you had told me you were leaving
Before you walked your final mile
I'm not pissed off at you, man
But you had something in your soul that we could recognize
You were one of us, but you worked out how you could survive
At least for a while

[Chorus]
There must have been a moment just before you hit the water
When you were filled with a sense of peace and understanding
With the wind in your hair and the light in your eyes
As you realised you were finally escaping
But somehow, in that moment, you miraculously miss it
Like a wave across a bay never breaking
And that's how I like to think of you
Ever falling, never landing
Rolling slowly out to sea and always smiling
You were always smiling

[Bridge]
You were a wave across a bay never breaking
You were a wave across a bay never breaking out to the sea
Ever falling, never landing
You were a wave across a bay never breaking
You were a wave across a bay never breaking out to the sea
Ever falling, never landing

[Outro]
You were a wave across a bay never breaking
You were a wave across a bay never breaking out to the sea
And you were always smiling
