Waves

I thought that I knew love But it was just a wave crashing over us And in the breaths between the ones we meant to breathe I had my head under my feet You knew the way things were You knew the way they would be We knew exactly how it'd end Strays on a stale sea Oh anchor the engine to a canyon far beneath Water rushed up from the boards below So I started slicking my hair with the kerosene You knew the way things were You knew the way they would be We knew exactly how it'd end And I'm preparing for a burial at sea But I can see the lighthouse Yet I'm praying that these waters don't take me 'Cause I can see the lighthouse I was screaming that the ship was sinking But you were telling me to just keep drinking Corded in the parts again Arms and legs at the bottom of the ocean And the thing that made it so much harder Was the fact that you were someone's daughter I knew the way things were I knew the way they would be I knew exactly how it'd end And I can see the lighthouse And I'm preparing for a burial in sea But I can see the lighthouse Yet I'm praying that these waters don't take me 'Cause I can see the lighthouse Yeah I can see the lighthouse I thought that I knew love But it was just a wave crashing over us --- Waves - The Dear Hunter
