Waves Lyrics by Imagine Dragons

Mercury - Acts 1 & 2 (Japanese Edition)

2022

[Verse 1]
Twenty-one years, she figured it out
She started a job, she's feeling it out
And for once it feels right
Was feeling like the prime of her life
But all of that is just a dream
Shattered now and everything's changed
With one car and one night
Was driving through the prime of your life

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Took your freedom
There's no reason, just keep breathing
Time doesn't hear if you ask it to wait

[Chorus]
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So own all your tears and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Life, it could change, it could change in a day
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So cherish your years and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Time doesn't hear, so roll with the waves

[Verse 2]
Eleven years old, my only friend
You'd taken me in, but where was I?
When he took his life
Oh, I was singing in the prime of my life

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Where was I when you were calling?
I can't go back
Time doesn't hear if you ask it to wait

[Chorus]
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So own all your tears and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Life it could change, it could change in a day
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So cherish your years and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Time doesn't hear, so roll with the waves

[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh
Live in regret, or eye to the future?
I'd rather be here, thinking about the now
'Cause this breath could fade fast
And this day could be your last

[Chorus]
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So own all your tears and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Life it could change, it could change in a day
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So cherish your years and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Time doesn't hear, so roll with the waves

[Outro]
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
