It's a game you can't win I hear the waveswaves Sun beatin' down on my shoulders It's a near-perfect day Wishin' I wouldn't get any older They say that it's gone 'fore you know it now

In the face of change Is when she turned to me and said "I'm not sure anymore?? And there amidst the waveswaves And the cloudless skies That blanket the year before I watch my life wash ashore Have you ever been a part of something That you thought would

Then I remember When the moon was full and bright I would take you in the darkness And do the tango in the night Listen to the wind on the water Listen to the waveswaves upon the shore Try to sleep, sleep won't come Just as I begin to fade

The call of the Alps The call home The call of the mountains The tune in our hearts The song of the mountains Against the waveswaves, with our swords in our hands Against the sea, with our backs to the walls Against distress, in the presence of our enemies

I look at you That's when I, I When the waveswaves Are flooding the shore and I can't Find my way home anymore Yeah, when my world is falling apart When there's no light to break up the dark Everybody needs inspiration Everybody needs a song

In the river it pulls me under Mmmmm Mmmmm I watched this the river ran Further way from me The water, it touched my skin I stood there silently I held my breath And all this deal The waveswaves of the river grow

I let you down, I let you down I made waveswaves, and I'm ashamed This all for you I let you down, I messed around 'Cause I'm a fool I made waveswaves, my mistakes, yeah The cold in my bones I feel it in any weather Ghosts in my home

And God knows, I'm not dying but I breathe now And God knows, it's the only way to heal now With all the blood I lost with you It drowns the love I thought I knew Alarms will ring for eternity The waveswaves will break every chain on me That feeling, that

And they never fly Something's changed track Reach up from the waveswaves You'll find that you're only waving goodbye You're only waving I went back to Boston Back to the city of lost love I went back to the place And recognized your face in the stone long

Subliminal love, love, love She'll have you hypnotized with that 'come kiss me' smile And that touch that says you're gonna stay a while She's got that subliminal love That hair that falls like waveswaves crashing on her skin In those ocean eyes saying jump
