Wye Oak - Wave is Not the Water lyrics

Thirst is not the answer, oceans come and go
I loved her seven seas worth
Lord I loved her so
But she let me down so easy
One slow drop at a time

I would've killed myself but it made no sense
Committing suicide in self defense
But, I lost everything I brought her
When she said babe, you’re just a wave
You're not the water

Centuries ago we were living
On the gold coast
She was still in love with a long, gone
Cold ghost i was only trying to turn back
The tide of her tears
I felt like an endless ocean
Rolling through the fog
Full emotion drifting like a
Weather beaten log
I even thought that I out-thought her
Till she said babe, you're just a wave
You’re not the water

I said someday we'll love again
Then you'll know the score i've taught
