“Waves” is the 23rd track off of “Mercury – Acts 1 & 2” and the 8th track of “Mercury – Act 2” individually. Lead Singer Dan Reynolds, during the “Mercury – Act 2” Live Q&A, explained that “Waves” is about two of his close friends, one who passed away and another who took his own life, both...
[Verse 1]
Twenty-one years, she figured it out
She started a job, she's feeling it out
And for once it feels right
Was feeling like the prime of her life
But all of that is just a dream
Shattered now and everything's changed
With one car and one night
Was driving through the prime of your life
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Took your freedom
There's no reason, just keep breathing
Time doesn't hear if you ask it to wait
[Chorus]
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So own all your tears and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Life, it could change, it could change in a day
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So cherish your years and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Time doesn't hear, so roll with the waves
[Verse 2]
Eleven years old, my only friend
You'd taken me in, but where was I?
When he took his life
Oh, I was singing in the prime of my life
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Where was I when you were calling?
I can't go back
Time doesn't hear if you ask it to wait
[Chorus]
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So own all your tears and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Life it could change, it could change in a day
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So cherish your years and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Time doesn't hear, so roll with the waves
[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh
Live in regret, or eye to the future?
I'd rather be here, thinking about the now
'Cause this breath could fade fast
And this day could be your last
[Chorus]
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So own all your tears and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Life it could change, it could change in a day
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So cherish your years and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Time doesn't hear, so roll with the waves
[Outro]
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
