waves

Singer: st. paul & the broken bones

all the barrels they are pointed up to the sky

bringing all of the rain

sanctuary we find in all our glowing screens

and now i can't stay

let the waves

let the waves

oh

let them carry me

all the people they are praying but there ain't love no more

just bullets and hate

pictures of a world that we never thought we had

and now i have gone astray

let the waves

let the waves

oh

let them carry me

let the waves

let the waves

oh

let them carry me

i want to go out to the sea

bama's gone but i hear her

please hear my pain

angels fall but they hold me

when i am afraid

love is harmless until

it lets you go

heaven's gone but

hell's below

lets it go

i want let it go
