[Verse 1] Took the long way home Salt on my sleeves Weekend in my pocket Slow as I need You on my mind Like foam on the shore I let it all settle Then I want more [Pre-Chorus] And the dark goes velvet Over the bay One more quiet circle Before it fades My chest gets lighter When the water calls I leave my worries With the gulls [Chorus] Quiet waves, quiet waves Hold me there Quiet waves, quiet waves I can breathe here Let the night roll in Let my thoughts unwind Quiet waves, quiet waves Take your time [Verse 2] Coffee cup cold By the window seat Weekend was a question Now it's memory I watched the moon Lay silver on glass Tried to keep the good parts Let the rest pass [Pre-Chorus] And the dark goes velvet Over the bay One more quiet circle Before it fades My chest gets lighter When the water calls I leave my worries With the gulls [Chorus] Quiet waves, quiet waves Hold me there Quiet waves, quiet waves I can breathe here Let the night roll in Let my thoughts unwind Quiet waves, quiet waves Take your time [Bridge] If I was meant to rush I forgot that part Every little crash Puts a hush on my heart So I stay a while Where the shoreline glows And the whole damn week Finally lets go [Chorus] Quiet waves, quiet waves Hold me there Quiet waves, quiet waves I can breathe here Let the night roll in Let my thoughts unwind Quiet waves, quiet waves Take your time
