A boy that grows up in a beach town And never learns to surf Sounds like the perfect distillation Of my time spent here on Earth But I have stared at the horizon With both feet in the sand The thing I love about the ocean It comes in waves Waves I've been feeling like a light bulb When the filament won't glow Surrounded by a darkness Cause the current's moving slow Am I losing my intensity Is that feeling here to stay But that's the thing 'bout electricity It comes in waves Waves I think I've found something in common With nothingness and God You stare at either in the face too long They'll do each other's job Sometimes those silences are holy Sometimes I'm drifting into space But if the spirit's moving through me It comes in waves It comes in waves I think their grip is getting looser I think they're giving us a try If you feel good about the future Then baby so do I Let's keep an eye on all our enemies While we're popping the champagne Cause that's the thing about a victory It comes in waves (It comes in waves) It comes in waves (It comes in waves) It comes in waves (It comes in waves) It comes in waves (It comes in waves)
