[Verse 1] You talk in circles, tapping your cup Steam on your glasses, you’re holding it up “I’m fine, I’m fine,” but you’re miles away Tide on your tongue you can’t quite say [Chorus] Waves, you pull me in, you push me out High one minute, low with doubt If it’s too much, just let it break I’ll meet you in the undertow we make Waves, we never crash the same Change our shape, but stay by name Let it all roll through our veins We’re waves, we bend before we fade [Verse 2] I leave my dishes stacked in the sink You say it’s nothing, then pour out a drink Laugh till it trembles, slips into rain Both of us soaked in somebody’s blame [Chorus] Waves, you pull me in, you push me out High one minute, low with doubt If it’s too much, just let it break I’ll meet you in the undertow we make Waves, we never crash the same Change our shape, but stay by name Let it all roll through our veins We’re waves, we bend before we fade [Bridge] [Strings swell, soft wordless “ooh” harmonies] Count the breaths between your thoughts (slow down) Every storm we’ve ever fought (right now) Look how far the shoreline’s moved Still, my hand keeps finding you (finding you) [Chorus] Waves, you pull me in, you push me out High one minute, low with doubt If it’s too much, just let it break I’ll meet you in the undertow we make Waves, we never crash the same Change our shape, but stay by name Let it all roll through our veins We’re waves, we bend before we fade (before we fade)
