lyrics

Lyrics:

What if the next wave is bigger than this
I’ve had times
Well you push and you pull and you promise to win
I’ve had times
I’ve had times, I’ve had times
What do you do when the grass turns to stone
And the reef is a’ risin’ and nowhere calls home
I’ve had times
I’ve had times

But into the blue
Where no one will find me
I speed into lightning dreams, tiptoe behind
See the door where there’s no floor at all
‘Cause the waves don’t lie
Waves don’t lie.

What if the next wave is better than this
I’ve had times
And what if it fills me with oceans of bliss
I’ve had times
I’ve had times
You get on a board with a fire in your soul
And the arrows in arms, and a perfect heart hole
I’ve had times
I’ve had times

Into the blue where no one will find me
I tiptoe through lightning, leave thunder behind
Find a friend in a watery wall
‘Cause the waves don’t lie
Waves don’t lie

I’m a wandering wavering wanting soul
I’ve had times.
Knowin’ a thing sure ain’t showin’ a thing
I’ve had times, I’ve had times
Do they love you when you’re winnin
Will they love you when you’re losin
Maybe true love lies in the friends that you’re choosin’
Does true love rise at all?
Well the waves don’t lie
Waves don’t lie.

Steal what you want from me
Take it for free
I’ve had times
And I’ll love you in spades
But it’s me and the sea
I’ve had times
I’ve had times, I’ve had times

Into the blue where no one will find me
I tiptoe through lightning, leave thunder behind
Find a friend in a watery wall
Cause the waves don’t lie
Waves don’t lie.
