“New Waves” is about yearning for a new start and finding the light after coming out of a dark and trying place.

[Verse 1]
Just a drop in the ocean
Trapped in one thought
Been through the motions
Been here before
Picked up the pieces that fell apart
Rebuild and recreated every broken heart
It's easy to lose all that inner faith
When I see the cracks in the home I made
I start to lose my focus
I'm losing ground
I get so high up
But always get so down
[Pre-Chorus]
I've worked too hard
My head and my heart got me this far
I'll wear these scars
On my sleeves real proud, like my broken heart
[Chorus]
'Cause all I want is another chance
A new beginning
And I just want to make new waves
And find a new way out
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I am weightless
Just drifting through this life unconscious
A wanderer chasing a dream
Walking the edges of reality
Is it just me?
[Bridge 1]
I don't need another bug in my brain
To feel transiently okay
I'm off all those prodigal old ways
I found a new start
On new waves
[Pre-Chorus]
I've worked too hard
My head and my heart got me this far
I'll wear these scars
On my sleeves real proud, like my broken heart
[Chorus]
'Cause all I want is another chance
A new beginning
And I just want to make new waves
And find a new way out
[Bridge 2]
I don't need another bug in my brain
Just wanna feel myself again
I'm off all those prodigal old ways
I made a new start
On new waves
[Pre-Chorus]
Because I've worked too hard
You know I've come too far
And I'll wear my scars
Real proud just like my
[Chorus]
'Cause all I want is another chance
Just a new beginning
And I just want to make new waves
And find a new way out
[Outro]
All I want is another chance
A new day, a new life
I wanna get out
And I just want to make new waves
And find a new way out
