There is a swelling storm And I'm caught up in the middle of it all And it takes control Of the person that I thought I was The boy I used to know But there, is a light In the dark, and I feel its warmth In my hands, and my heart Why can't I hold on? It comes and goes in waves It always does, it always does We watch as our young hearts fade Into the flood, into the flood The freedom, of falling A feeling I thought was set in stone It slips through, my fingers I'm trying hard to let go It comes and goes in waves It comes and goes in waves And carries us away Through the wind Down to the place we used to lay when we were kids Memories, of a stolen place Caught in the silence An echo lost in space It comes and goes in waves It always does, it always does We watch as our young hearts fade Into the flood, into the flood The freedom, of falling A feeling I thought was set in stone It slips through, my fingers I'm trying hard to let go It comes and goes in waves It comes and goes in waves And carries us away I watched my wild youth Disappear in front of my eyes Moments of magic and wonder It seems so hard to find Is it ever coming back again? Is it ever coming back again? Take me back to the feeling when Everything was left to find It comes and goes in waves It always does, oh it always does The freedom, of falling A feeling I thought was set in stone It slips through, my fingers I'm trying hard to let go It comes and goes in waves It comes and goes in waves And carries us away
