The Waves Lyrics by Making State

Waiting for Signals EP

2016

[Verse 1]
It's not what it looks like
Two out of three isn't always good
When you're always right
And it's not what I've hoped for
You beg me to stay
Then you show me the door

[Pre-Chorus]
But you don't know what you don't know

[Chorus]
Everyone tells me to let things go
But why's it got to be me?
When no one else is listening
And my hands are in the water
But I can't control the waves
That are taking over me
Tell me, how is that fair?

[Verse 2]
Our souls intertwined
There was never an end to me
But cleaning out my car
Is like cleaning out the memories

[Pre-Chorus]
But you don't know what you don't know

[Chorus]
Everyone tells me to let things go
But why's it got to be me?
When no one else is listening
And my hands are in the water
But I can't control the waves
That are taking over me
Tell me, how is that fair?

[Outro]
It's not what it looks like
Two out of three isn't always good
Everyone tells me to let things go
But why's it got to be me?
When no one else is listening
And my hands are in the water
But I can't control the waves
And my hands are in the water
But I can't control the waves
Tell me, how is that fair?
