Waves

We left under moonlight
We went with the breeze
I bet on your blue eyes
You set for my green

We moved with the water
The tumble and sway
The slow dance gets harder
As level shorelines fade

So now I'm out drifting away
What can I say
You're barely listening, asleep in
The shade of tidal waves

Someone throw a lifeline
I don't want to drown
I can't hold you closer
Without just sinking down
Once I'm safe from the deep
You're the waves at my feet
That just keep pulling me out
By the power of the moonlight
When the tide comes around

You think that I worry about
What I can't see but fear
The truth's always blurry somehow
We still hear these heartbeats clear
And yours might be steady now
Yeah yours could be true
Mine's always heavy with doubt
Like the current dragging on you

Someone throw a lifeline
I don't want to drown
I can't hold you closer
Without just sinking down
Once I'm safe from the deep
You're the waves at my feet
That just keep pulling me out
By the power of the moonlight
When the tide comes around

Oh when it's gone
I'm right back where we start
Waves from so long ago come and crash on my heart
All that we were and I dreamed you to be
Shines so bright on the deep and darkened sea

Someone throw a lifeline
I don't want to drown
I can't hold you closer
Without just sinking down
Once I'm safe from the deep
You're the waves at my feet
That just keep pulling me out
By the power of the moonlight
When the tide comes around
