Waves was written by the bass player, Connor Ball, while he was at home during the Christmas period.
“I was really inspired over that time so I just sat down with an electric guitar one day and started jamming the riff. The term Waves in the song is referring to the ups and downs in a relationship...
[Verse 1]
My hands are shaking
Holding photos taken
And I wanna get you out of my head
I'm bruised and broken
By the words I've spoken
And there's not much of me left
[Pre-Chorus]
The cold in my bones
I feel it in any weather
Ghosts in my home
They leave 'cause they can find much better
Lo and behold, I'm on my own
With only myself to blame
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a fool
I let you down, I let you down
I made waves, and I'm ashamed
This all for you
I let you down, I messed around
I made waves, my mistakes, yeah
[Verse 2]
I know I'm not perfect
And I know you're hurting
I'm sorry that I wasn't there
When I call in the morning
Without any warning
I'll say all the things that I should've said
[Pre-Chorus]
The cold in my bones
I feel it in any weather
Ghosts in my home
They leave 'cause they can find much better
Lo and behold, I'm on my own
With only myself to blame
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a fool
I let you down, I let you down
I made waves, and I'm ashamed
This all for you
I let you down, I messed around
I made waves, my mistakes, yeah
[Bridge]
So can't we go back, can't we go back
To when nothing really mattered at all?
So can't we go back, can't we go back? Yeah
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a fool
I let you down, I let you down
I made waves, and I'm ashamed
This all for you
I let you down, I messed around
I made waves, my mistakes
I'm a fool
I let you down, I let you down
I made waves, and I'm ashamed
This all for you
I let you down, I messed around
I made waves, my mistakes, yeah
[Outro]
I made waves
All for you
I let you down
