Through The Waves Lyrics

Walking down along the storefronts on the water

Reaching out for someone who chose to walk with me

She was nowhere in the physical, and nowhere to be found

So I shift my weight, protect my morning drink

When a little girl comes running by the counter

Making eyes with all the mason jars in play

Speaking up she promptly asks of me, how can you tell the difference now

With all the colors, and the wrappings, the sweet things

I don't know how you can choose between the sweet things

I don't know how you swim away from distant hate

I don't know if you will ever learn to love someone

But I know that you can find it through the waves

Through the crashing waves

Standing just beyond the iron at a gallery

Staring straight into a convoluted scene

No one laughing through the artifacts, not a single smile there

So I turn around, and head out for some air

When an older man looks towards a broken figure

Even though the grief he holds cannot compare

And with a gentle hand he turns to me, now do you think they ever healed

With all the tired hands, the twisted backs, the deep pain

I don't know if I'm the one you should be asking

I don't know if they felt for much beyond their pain

I don't know all the ways that you can lose someone

But I know that you can find it through the waves

Through the crashing waves

Before the day is done

I find a local bar with contemporaries

I'm not looking for a spark

But when a lonely figure leads conversation

Hears and feels my every word (lonely figure)

Takes them as her own

Sharing most people think that she's fine

Well let's hear the truth

I wanna know about you

I don't know how you can claim they really knew you

I don't know how you navigate the road on high

I don't know how you can stop the dream for someone

But I know that you can find it through the waves

I don't know why they would feign some explanation

I don't know why they would kick you down when you feel so small

I don't know why they would choose to hide and lose the one

But I know that you can't find it through the waves

Through the waves

Through the waves

Through the waves

Through the waves

Through the waves

Through the waves

Through the waves

Through the waves

Through the waves

Through the waves
