Waves

(album: Mercury - Acts 1 & 2 - 2022)

Twenty-one years, she figured it out
She started a job, she's feeling it out
And for once it feels right
Was feeling like the prime of her life
But all of that is just a dream
Shattered now and everything's changed
With one car and one night
Was driving through the prime of your life

Took your freedom, there's no reason
Just keep breathing, time doesn't hear if you ask it to wait
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So own all your tears and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Life, it could change, it could change in a day
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So cherish your years and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Time doesn't hear so roll with the waves

Eleven years old, my only friend
You'd taken me in, but where was I?
When he took his life
Oh, I was singing in the prime of my life

Where was I when you were calling?
I can't go back, time doesn't hear if you ask it to wait
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So own all your tears and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Life it could change, it could change in a day
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So cherish your years and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Time doesn't hear so roll with the waves

Live in regret, or eye to the future?
I'd rather be here, thinking about the now
'Cause this breath could fade fast
And this day could be your last

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So own all your tears and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Life it could change, it could change in a day
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So cherish your years and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Time doesn't hear so roll with the waves

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
