Another Wave (Run Away) Lyrics by OK Koala

All Of It, All At Once

0

[Verse 1:]
Seventeen
Was a meaningless year; we all learned nothing
But that’s all anyone writes songs about
Now here we are
All our teenage years are lost or crumbling
And now we’re supposed to have it figured out

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
Well, age was never just a number
The water’s filling up to the brim
And now we’re falling in the deep end
And trying to swim

[Chorus:]
I want to wait a lifetime to be alive
Can’t run away, I’ve got no home
Another wave crashes; I’ve realized
That we’re all making it up as we go
Another wave
I’ll run away
Another wave
Can’t run away

[Verse 2:]
It’s all pretend
An illusion at best that we know what we’re doing
Nobody wants to grow up anyway
All my friends
Make the best-laid plans but they all get ruined
So we’re living for the moment everyday

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
Well, treading water doesn’t last long
The water’s getting over our heads
So let’s hold off our worries at arm’s length
And smile instead

[Chorus:]
I want to wait a lifetime to be alive
Can’t run away, I’ve got no home
Another wave crashes; I’ve realized
That we’re all making it up as we go
Another wave
I’ll run away
Another wave
Can’t run away
(Guitar!)

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus 3:]
Well, age was never just a number
The water’s overflowing the banks
But if you think we’re gonna grow up
Well, no fucking thanks!

[Chorus:]
I want to wait a lifetime to be alive
Can’t run away, I’ve got no home
Another wave crashes; I’ve realized
That we’re all making it up as we go
Another wave
I’ll run away
Another wave
Can’t run away
Another wave
I'll run away
