Waves Lyrics by ILISH

2022

[Verse 1 - Ilish]
Mmm Ahhhh
It's Young illy baby

On the shoreline
I could feel waves crashing
Staring at the horizon
While the force It pulls me in
Fight back still it reels me in
Somehow forgot how to swim
Struggling now I'm drowning
Told myself I wouldn't
End up in this place
Desperately I'm still
Longing for a change
Problems never stop increasing
Cuz I'm in my feelings
I cling on to hope
For some healing
I long to achieve
Overcome it in silence
Then say it aloud testify it

[Hook - Kemvr]
Pain don't last
I don't jump on the wave
Cuz the wave always gon crash crash
Don't look at your past
Know that
Anything that you want you can get
All you gotta do is ask
Well lets go
We litty in the city
When bout to touch road
I mеssed up two times three times I know
I ain't gon sink again
Arе you gonna go sink or swim
Are you gonna go sink or swim

[Jekasole]
I’m just tryin to breathe again
All my thoughts are caving in
Can I see your face again (na na na)
I’ve been feeling under pressure
I need to get myself together
Having conversations
With my father from above
He told me not to worry
Cause I am the one he loves
You told me I’m your superstar
You said you know
Just who I are
Just who I are (na na na)

[Hook - Kemvr]
Pain don't last
I don't jump on the wave
Cuz the wave always gon crash crash
Don't look at your past
Know that
Anything that you want you can get
All you gotta do is ask
Well lets go
We litty in the city
When bout to touch road
I messed up two times three times I know
I ain't gon sink again
Are you gonna go sink or swim
Are you gonna go sink or swim

[Jay Sanon]
Yeah
Me I’m trying to win my race
Running so hard till I see Your face
All I need is in your grace
All I need is in your grace
Bod mon got a problem
And only the ancient of days can solve them
Millie rock where I got’em
Millie rock where I got’em
Millie rock milly rock milly rock rock
Where I got’em hit a rock bottom
Trust in the rock at the bottom
Don’t want to end up
Like Sodom and Gomorrah
Living by the Torah
Explore it like Dora whoa
Grace by the carload
Grace by the carload
Trading my sorrows
This life is borrowed
Catching Z’s like Zorro
