[Intro]
"Hi Brian! This is your favorite grandpa
I wanna wish you a happy, happy birthday
Maybe you can call me back later when you wake up?
Okay, happy birthday again
Alright, bye-bye (bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye)"
[Verse 1]
When I was five
I learned what it meant to lose
Went for a drive
Straight to another school
And I wonder
If a steady state's comin' ever
Because loss
Is something you carry forever
Because loss
Is something you carry together
[Chorus]
Won't you steady, steady the ocean
I am tirеd of endless erosion
Lick thе salt
From the wounds
Settle down
On the dunes
I am waiting for you
I am waiting for you
[Verse 2]
Turn twenty five
Not sure what I'm to do
But hopes are high
Maybe another move
And I'm tired
Of the almost, the nearly, the never
Because almost
Is a ghost that you chase through the weather
And it's almost
Like losing the end of the tether
[Chorus]
Won't you steady, steady the ocean
I am tired of endless erosion
Lick the salt
From the wounds
Settle down
On the dunes
I am waiting for you
I am waiting for you
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
[Chorus]
Won't you steady, steady the ocean
I am tired of endless erosion
Lick the salt
From the wounds
Settle down
On the dunes
I am waiting for you
I am waiting for you
