lyrics

WAVES

They told me don’t dive in too deep

The rocks are harder at the bottom of the sea

You’re just a small fish with a big story

You’ll get lost down there

I didn’t hear the lies they told

I threw myself into the cold

I found smaller fins a thousand fold

Was glorified and ensnared

I cried,

I’ll eat you for the hope of salvation

No defense is good enough

You’ll have to learn, this sea is tough

I’ll eat you for the hope of salvation

It’s not your plight, but never mind

The devil is a close friend of mine

I swam from shore to shore

Went on a tour of the ocean floor

On every bigger fish, I declared war

And won

I rode the lacy waves curling in

But craved the velvet touch of air again

As soon as I leapt out, I was condemned

I could swim but couldn’t run

He cried,

I’ll eat you for the hope of salvation

No defense is good enough

You’ll have to learn, this land is tough

I’ll eat you for the hope of salvation

It’s not your plight, but never mind

The devil is a close friend of mine

Sometimes, I’m not so good

But you don’t always have to be good at what you love

God isn’t that the truth

GOOD GOODBYE

Fall is hanging from a tree branch

Like the leaves that tumble down

The air is made of gold and spice

And babe, we’re rollin’ round in the dirt

But it’s okay ‘cause autumn sun has kissed my cheek

And if I could I’d catch the wind for you

Winter’s playing hide and seek

My cheeks are glowing amaranth pink

And babe, you’re beautiful when the snow shines

We’ll hide away in blankets twisted ‘round our feet

While pristine angels guard the door

It’s a good goodbye

When auburn skies become ivory nights

When these months are on repeat

We’re on repeat, you’re on my mind

It’s a good goodbye

Spring is skipping through the creek

On rocks we through from drier ground

Flowers tease my ankles

Babe, it’s raining hard but I don’t care

The lightning strikes and lights us up

A crackle says the sky is waking up

Summer’s almost over now

The night is cool, the moon is out

My toes stick to the soft green grass

Babe, this is our last night for a while

But it’s alright ‘cause seasons come and go

And I’ll be back when falling leaves turn into snow

My lovebird, please don’t fly away

It’s a good goodbye

When cloudy skies make room for earth shine

When these months are on repeat

We’re on repeat, you’re on my mind

It’s a good goodbye

PHONECALL SONG

I’ve got a lot to look forward to

Like tellin’ you I told you so

I’ve got a lot to look forward to

You’ve got a lot to be shown

I’ve got a lot to think about

Why won’t you hang up the phone

I’ve got a lot to think about

Now I’m here thinkin’ alone

You want to do this your own way

Don’t give a damn what they say

I’ve got a lot of growin’ up to do

Now that you’re on your own

I’ve got a lot of growin’ up to do

Thought I was already grown

You want to do this your own way

Don’t give a damn what they say

You want to do this the hard way

Don’t give a damn if it’s a mistake

I’ve got a lot that I’d hate to do (x 8)

A lot of it I’ve already done
