Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, wave crash down on me
Until I'm whole again
Like days of old
I see myself and rise
I'm drying out in this weather
Feeling of parasites
And the time when the night feels better
Is when you don't go
[Verse 2]
A taste as bitter as before
We could waste all the best of times till we know
That lights and shapes, they only fade
In the hold that washes all away
[Verse 3]
What a wave
What a wave
What a wave
What a wave
[Verse 4]
The rose's thorn still reaches out to pierce my skin
It grows me warm and cloudys up my mind
Everybody has an opinion and I don't like most of them
'Cause the life that we live is better living
Than living alone
[Verse 5]
The taste, as bitter as before
We could waste all the best times till we know
The lights and shapes, they only fade
In the hold that washes all away
[Verse 6]
What a wave
What a wave
What a wave
What a wave
[Verse 7]
I'm drying out in this weather
Feeling of parasites
And the time when the night feels better
Is when you don't go
[Verse 8]
What a wave
What a wave
What a wave
What a wave
