Waves

Wake up, and the waves rush past

Drift through the day in sun and salt

And all the while, I try to forget you

But the tide brings you back in

Walk away, and no matter how far I go

My hurt is marked in sandy steps I see

Looking back, I try to forget you

But the tide brings you back in

Breathe in, and remember the salty air

Try to forget the times we fell apart

And remember all the rest instead

But the tide brings it all back in

Breathe out, and time turns to yesterday

Like grains of sand slipping away

I see all the pieces yet can’t find them

But the tide washes you out to sea
