Waves

[Verse 1]

Thanks for coming to the beach I'm

Glad that we found a place to meet I'm mad agitated

This is one on one not Jon & Kate plus eight

Have a lot to say from the back of my brain

Don't need other ears to stand in the way

Of this convo I'mma be blunt like a tombstone

Let you know why I've been such an asshole

I don't wanna say it's your fault

But I haven't kept calm and it's kind of your fault

Sent me a letter detailed discretion

When you suffered from depression

Your house was caving in

Suicide excuse runs paper thin

Sink or swim that's all she wrote

Climb aboard this life boat

Held out advice but you passed it by

Neglected the fact that I paid the price

I spent the time to save your life

But you stood still when I made it right

You try to find a boy that can fill a void

You can fill on your own but insist there's no other choice

Than to hope for a guy to charm you

Aim sweet nothings at your heart with a harpoon

Best Friends

Soul mates

What we had was shallow

Not deep like the waves

[Verse 2]

My face above the water

My feet can't touch the ground

Touch the ground, and it feels like

I can see the sands on the horizon

Every time you are not around

[Hook]

I'm slowly drifting away (drifting away)

Wave after wave, wave after wave

I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)

And it feels like I'm drowning

Pulling against the stream

Pulling against the stream

[Verse 3]

My face above the water

My feet can't touch the ground

Touch the ground, and it feels like

I can see the sands on the horizon

Every time you are not around

[Hook]

I'm slowly drifting away (drifting away)

Wave after wave, wave after wave

I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)

And it feels like I'm drowning

Pulling against the stream

Pulling against the stream

[Verse 4]

Look me in the eye stop crying

Far apart by a thousand miles

Distant please don't deny it

Can't equalize when we're not compromising

Don't you get it I'm unappreciated

Trust it'd be different if we were dating

I pull more weight than the guy you're dating

You're too dependent on flakes I ain't hating

'Cause I truly care for you

Life is hard I'm preparing you

Let me ask make aware to you

At the end of the day who's there for you

The girl in the mirror needs an identity

And it starts with self esteem

I lack empathy

'Cause you don't help yourself with the basic means to succeed

I'm not the guy of your dreams

But I am someone you need

Too bad we couldn't see

My head hurting I got Aleve I gotta leave

I can't put you on a pedestal

I'm on a different level to be keeping us together

You wanna be a kid? That's no better

Grow up girl nothing lasts forever

[Verse 5]

I wish I could make it easy

Easy to love me, love me

But still I reach, to find a way

I'm stuck here in between

I'm looking for the right words to say

[Hook]

I'm slowly drifting away (drifting away)

Wave after wave, wave after wave

I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)

And it feels like I'm drowning

Pulling against the stream

Pulling against the stream

[Outro]

Tough love, tough loss

I tried, lost cause

Tough love, tough loss

I tried, you're lost
