wave is not the water

Singer:wye oak

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
