[Verse 1]
Thought I heard the ocean
But that was just a dream
So was reconciliation
Your apology
Said you had it all wrong
But you swear you see it now
Wish it wasn’t apparition
And I could let my guard down
[Prechorus]
Will it ever be
What it used to be?
Toes in the sand
You held on to me
Will I ever be
How I used to be?
Smiling as I wake
Not just as I sleep
[Chorus]
It hits me like a wave
Every day
Breathin' in the salt air
The sting as it whips past my face
I know you’re moving on, getting along
But I can’t let go
It hits me like a wave
And I need you to know
I love you
I love you
[Verse 2]
You are so elusive
Like the changing tides
I want to be the moon and
Maybe magnetize
But you’ve got your own beat
No longer dance to mine
My body’s just a vessel
For my racing mind
[Prechorus]
Will it ever be
What it used to be?
Toes in the sand
You held on to me
Will I ever be
How I used to be?
Smiling as I wake
Not just as I sleep
[Chorus]
It hits me like a wave
Every day
Breathin' in the salt air
The sting as it whips past my face
I know you’re moving on, getting along
But I can’t let go
It hits me like a wave
And I need you to know
I love you (need you to know, need you to know, need you to know)
I love you (need you to know, need you to know, need you to know)
[Outro]
Will I ever be
How I used to be
Smiling as I wake
Not just in my sleep
