Lyrics
Like a Wave
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I saw it coming
I saw it coming way too late
way too late
and befre I knew what to do
I was thrown and bruising
like a wave
like a wave
like a wave breaking over me
like a wave
like a wave
like a wave breaking over me
breaking over me.
and there was nothing I could do
but hold my hands over my eyes
and pray I'd make it through
make it through this one alive
and I would survive
like a wave
like a wave
like a wave breaking over me
breaking over me
and I was
I wash away
as you recede.
