Big Big Waves

I count a million ways I’ve stripped the screws

Like a bearing, pressing weight, compelled, and I’m holding onto you

Let loose all the warning signs

Stay tight to the crashing waves

When you paint the clouds just a little less grey it’s chemical

You can take me, you can take me anywhere. I’m here

Wrung the drift from my clothes

When we wash up somewhere and we’re old

I want to keep your smell, bottled to myself

So we can live, and we can breathe

What we were and what we’ll be

You can take me, you can take me anywhere. I’m here

I found new life in big, big waves

I found new life here
