Did the waves ever get what they came for?
Did the sand really lose any ground?
They left with what they had and nothing more,
There was no answer in that roar of sound.
We borrowed love to serve our purposes
Not knowing it could never be returned.
We watched the surfers walk upon the water
And heard the children sing of other worlds
But never could we put it all together
Through different eyes they seemed to be so plural.
I learned to use your eyes to look at you.
I used to not exist but now I do.
Maybe I will fall in love someday
And feel the moon possess me in its way.
Maybe there’s one star out there to see
That’s clear enough the lover can be me.
I love you more now that you are not real.
I hold you in my heart now that you’re gone.
I need your kiss now that it cannot heal.
I cherish all we shared now I'm alone.
The world is in my hand but I’m not free,
I’d rather give it back than have the right to be.
