[Verse 1]
You hear them when you try to fall sleep
They crash to the shore, they come from the deep
As sure as the sun will rise, the sun will set
You taste the salt the closer you get
[Chorus]
Wa-a-aves
Picking you up, pushing you down, they're always around
Wa-a-aves
Just like a dream, silver and green, we live in between
[Post-Chorus]
They can carry you all the way to me
They can pull you out to the deep blue sea
Oh, waves, there are waves
[Verse 2]
Empires will crumble to the sand
All that you love can slip through your hand
But you must face the ocean once again
Follow the tides wherever you've been
[Chorus]
Wa-a-aves
Picking you up, pushing you down, they're always around
Wa-a-aves
Just like a dream, silver and green, we live in between
They can carry you all the way to me
They can pull you out to the deep blue sea
Oh, waves, there are waves
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Wa-a-aves
Picking you up, pushing you down, they're always around
Wa-a-aves
Just like a dream, silver and green, we live in between
[Post-Chorus]
They can carry you all the way to me
They can pull you out to the deep blue sea
Oh, waves, there are waves
