A melancholy love song, “Emoji of a Wave” describes the hardships of living apart in a relationship.
John describes life as a “wave” – a force beyond his control that knocks him about. In choosing to “hold on” he embraces the unpredictability of life, playing down the heartbreak and fear such unpre...
[Verse 1]
Oh, honey
You don't have to try so hard
To hurt me
Don't worry
I been thinking bout you too
What do we do
[Pre-Chorus]
Your heart is where my head should be
The dissonance is killing me
It breaks my heart
It breaks my heart
[Chorus]
Oh, honey
Oh, honey
It's just a wave
It's just a wave
And I know
That when it comes
I just hold on
I just hold on
[Verse 2]
Oh, honey
I been talking to myself
Just to hear you
And you're saying
Everything I wish you would
And it's so good
[Pre-Chorus]
It's raining on the mission bell
They're draining out the wishing well
It breaks my heart
It breaks my heart
[Chorus]
Oh honey
Oh honey
It's just a wave
It's just a wave
And I know
That when it comes
I just hold on
I just hold on
[Bridge]
I rose in you like morning light
And sheltered you asleep at night
It breaks my heart
It takes all the love I have to say
I know we're gonna be okay
It breaks my heart
It breaks my heart
[Chorus]
Oh, honey
Oh, honey
It's just a wave
It's just a wave, and I know
That when it comes
I just hold on until it's gone

John told Rolling Stone:
It’s about sitting in a feeling, there are two levels to the song: one of them is the beautiful destination I go to whenever I hear it, which is Santa Barbara on a rainy, cold day. The other level is just about this part of life and love that my brain doesn’t understand: wa...
John explained to Rolling Stone, he met Al Jardine in the Capitol Studio in 2014:
He said, ‘If you have anything I can sing on…’, and I was like, ‘Well, I do have this one song…’.
