Black Waves Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Long days into summer nights
Black waves on the city lights
Come here by mistake sometimes
[Verse 2]
And I go along with the tides
The water's so cold
It's like ice
But I never feel it
[Refrain]
When I'm in this state of mind
I could drift away
[Chorus]
Till the first light comes breaking through
And I know my time's up here
The morning always comes too soon
I start to disappear
And the black waves turn to blue
[Verse 3]
Slow rain on the windowsill
Can't say I don't think of you still
All the time
[Verse 4]
We can't hold this purple sky
And I told you not to try
I told you not to try
[Refrain]
When I'm in this state of mind
I could drift away
[Chorus]
Till the first light comes breaking through
And I know my time's up here
The morning always comes too soon
I start to disappear
And the black waves turn to blue
[Outro]
The black waves turn to blue
The black waves turn to blue
