Lyrics
The Waves
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.
You are the one you makes a difference
But I am the one who makes the waves
All down the line this makes us different
So all our dreams may stay awake
You know sometimes things get so strange
And all we do may go astray
Wrapped in your youth these things won't harm you
And they don't hit you like a train
Say... won't you see her
I heard she's waiting at your door
Oh I hope you won't keep near her
I know she's bound to want it all
She's uncommon, she has one face
And her heart beats to your tune
When she speaks, she speaks of only your name
Then she repeats it like a fool
Hey... you can't say you don't want her
You know you let her through your wall
Oh I hope you don't keep near her
I know she's bound to want it all
