Thirst is not the answer, oceans come and go I loved her seven seas worth, Lord I loved her so But she let me down so easy, one slow drop at a time I would've killed myself but it made no sense Committing suicide in self defense But I lost everything I brought her When she said babe, you're just a wave, you're not the water Centuries ago we were living on the gold coast She was still in love with a long, gone, cold ghost I was only trying to turn back the tide of her tears I felt like an endless ocean, rolling through the fog Full emotion drifting like a weather beaten log I even thought that I out-thought her Till she said babe, you're just a wave, you're not the water I said someday we'll love again, then you'll know the score I've taught
