[Intro]
So, this is the last song we’re gonna play
Thank you so, so, much for having us
It’s been such an amazing gig for us
So, I wrote this song about three years ago
About trying to get the excitement of youth back again
This song is called Waves
[Verse 1]
There is a swelling storm
And I'm caught up in the middle of it all
And it takes control of the person that I thought I was
The boy I used to know
But there is a light in the dark
And I feel its warmth
In my hands, in my heart
But why can't I hold on?
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause It comes and goes in waves
It always does, always does
And we watch as our young hearts fade
Into the flood, oh into the flood
[Chorus]
And the freedom of falling
And the feeling I thought was set in stone
It slips through my fingers
I'm trying hard to let go
‘Cause it comes and goes in waves
‘Cause it comes and goes in waves
And carries us away
[Verse 2]
Through the wind
Down to the place we used to lay when we were kids
Memories of a stolen place
We’re caught in the silence, in an echo lost in space
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause it comes and goes in waves
It always does, it always does
And we watch as our young hearts fade
Into the flood, oh, into the flood
[Chorus]
And the freedom of falling
And the feeling I thought was set in stone
It slips through my fingers
And I'm trying hard to let go
‘Cause it comes and goes in waves
‘Cause it comes and goes in waves
And carries us away
[Bridge]
I've watched my wild youth
Disappear in front of my eyes
Moments of magic and wonder
Now seems so hard to find
Is it ever coming back again?
Is it ever coming back again?
Take me back to the feeling when
Everything was left to find
[Pre-Chorus]
It comes and goes in waves
It always does, it always does
[Chorus]
And the freedom of falling
And the feeling I thought was set in stone
It slips through my fingers
I'm trying hard to let go
‘Cause it comes and goes in waves
‘Cause it comes and goes in waves
And carries us away
[Outro]
Thank you so much
