Edwin McCain - Boom Lyrics

Mamma said, "Let's shave my head today"
It's all gonna fall out anyway
The laughter rolled in first just like she planned
Then the tears fell out with strand
After strand, after strand, after strand

Love doesn't wait until it's easy
Love isn't only dancing under stars
Love's not just for rolling along like a summer song
Love's when it's hard

When it's hard and you don't want to believe it
You don't have enough hands to cover your ears and your eyes
When it's hard and you don't want to speak it
'Cause the only sound that comes is, "Why?"

Before I knew we were swaying like the trees
But they know how to bend and we're on our knees
I got a shock wave when it reached the speed of sound
By the time you hear the boom
The pain is raining down and down and down

Love doesn't wait until it's easy
Love isn't only dancing under stars
Love's not just for rolling along like a summer song
Love's when it's hard

When it's hard and you don't want to believe it
You don't have enough hands to cover your ears and your eyes
When it's hard and you don't want to speak it
'Cause the only sound that comes is, "Why?"

Love doesn't wait until it's easy
Love isn't only dancing under stars
Love's not just for rolling along like a summer song
Love's when it's hard
When it's hard, yeah, when it's hard
