[Verse 1]
No one sets out to break a heart, but then it surely happens
Surprise, surprise, the rush of time has turned us out of fashion
Now we're staring down our future, that used to feel so very far away
No one's love is ever given, surely it's just borrowed
Returned anew or held onto, and given back tomorrow
With someone else's story, or someone else's sorrow
[Chorus]
There's a sea change coming
Oh, to sweep us all away
There's a sea change coming
Who am I to fight the waves?
Who am I to fight the waves?
[Verse 2]
It feels to me, the more I see, the less I understand it
And as the years attach to me, I find that I'm pretending
To be calmer, to be stronger, to be ready for how the story ends
What doesn't change cannot stay the same
[Chorus]
There's a sea change coming
Oh, to sweep us all away
There's a sea change coming
Who am I to fight the waves?
Who am I to fight the waves?
[Bridge]
That's the way that this love goes, you let it grow, or it grows old
You're either on the right or in the way
When my time is done, I hope that I will feel ready to go
Who am I to fight the waves?
Who am I to fight the waves?
[Chorus]
There's a sea change coming
Oh, to sweep us all away
There's a sea change coming
Who am I to fight the waves?
There's a sea change coming
Oh, to sweep us all away
There's a sea change coming
Who am I to fight the waves?
Who am I to fight the waves?
