The wave used to come back to me
After it pulled from the sea
It's been awhile since you
Last thought of me
Little seashells left behind
I thought it was different this time
I saw myself growing old
With someone by my side
I no longer feel the need to be
Free without a place to be
I look forward to the mornings after
To see the sunrise in your eyes
I hope I'm not too far away
Not just an old file in the back of your mind
My only worry is
That we'll never have our time
During the day I put on a face
While nights blanket me unkind
It's a cruel world we live
To not have the things we want
I'm not one of those who were born ready
But god how I'm ready now
If you should cry on my shoulder
I'd know what to do now
