Shockwave Lyrics

Always works out that way

You keep your back to the shockwave

You planted your feet in sand

And one small ripple knocks you over

So you go telling your friends

About that final straw

Poor camels always on call

To step into that tired cliche

What are you going to do

When the crest and trough bore a hole through you

What are you going to do

Cause the waves get bigger every time you move

What are you going to do

It's the rise and fall of everyone

On any given day

But then the tide turnes

It takes a letter in the mail

Or some apology

And all at once, you give your friends some room to breathe

But how long will it last

Before your omniscience snaps

And you're unloosed again

To weather the surges

Gavel in hand

What are you going to do

When the crest and trough bore a hole through you

What are you going to do

Cause the waves get bigger every time you move

What are you going to do

It's the rise and fall of everyone

On any given day

But could I love you

If things were always so calm

It takes a shock wave

To make us see things as they truly are

And so I let go

And I don't mind the ride

There's something about this up and down

That's hypnotizing
