Comes In Waves

I can lie too
I know you don't think I have it in me
But what if I do?
Woke up feeling like myself today
For a minute there, I
I couldn't tell who's who

I've said it once to you before
And I'll say it all again real slow this time
I won't miss losing out on what I never try to find

It comes in waves, it comes in waves

And what about you?
I'll bet you didn't think we'd make it this far
But we've made do
Sometimes I wonder if you're boring
But you know I only ask it out of spite
'Cause I can't sleep without a fight

I'll keep the peace and hold it in
Yeah, I learned it from the best
I'll let you keep your space, or maybe
I call the shots until you pass my stupid little test
And then I store it for later

It comes in waves, it comes in waves
No it never stays, it just comes in waves

I am the dirt that keeps them buried in the layers of the earth
The searing bulb that prays they never see the natural sun
I am the green of every sepal holding fertile blossoms shut
The bind of every grip around the bases of their ripened stems
But when they bloom, they look so precious
But only by my side

I don't know why, I don't know why
Tell me now, what's on your mind?
Just let me stay and try again, I promise you
I can rewind

It comes in waves, it comes in waves
Oh, I promise it never stays
It just comes in waves
