Lyrics
Remember today that you are loved /what? Think back to days in hidden caves /They’re still so small I gave them everything They’d paint your eyes with sunsets /My saints, my sighs, my upsets, and the days I couldn’t cope And the waves. Oh the waves

Remember they are safe /I forgot to pack them lunches think back to paddling pools and rainy days where they would /I need a drink or two Harmonise with echoes Nor are you /With charcoal eyes, stilettos, they’re not ready, But the waves, oh the waves

Oh I don’t want them to go Oh Just tell them what your haggard mother told you long ago

Pick your chords well loves But sing your notes off key You can’t rehearse the chorus But the verse is sweet And if your voice begins to crack And you ever feel alone They might laugh because you’re leaving But know we’ll sing your name when you come home

Remember today hey we did our best /I know they think I’m nightmare Come paddle by the shore /I guessed pushed them pushed them all You are your own magician, let the ocean give to you /And by my own admission, had no notion what to do Its waves. Oh the waves /Ah bollocks to your waves

Remember today you’re enough /Please don’t do this my heart is breaking Know they love you you tried You did but So did they / But I raged so much But so did they We built our castles just to watch them wash away They are my rascals I can’t let them walk away In the waves, oh the waves /Hold my hand

Oh I need them to stay Oh Just remember those wicked words your mother used to say

Pick your chords well loves But sing your notes off key You dad will forget the words And fucking bastard what is it And if your voice begins to crack And you ever feel alone They might laugh because you’re leaving But know we’ll sing your name when you come home

Walk into your waves my loves Tell them all your names Go tell them how we failed you And gift to us all your blame Cos we’ll be all that you hate about yourself So you can grow Cos life begins by leaving And our love is shown in the letting go

Go walk into your dawn you snotrags Tell them that we never cared Go tell them how we fucked you up And oh my god it’s so unfair We were the winter nights So you could be the morning snow Your life begins by leaving And our love is shown In the letting go

Be good / be good Be safe / be safe Be kind / be kind And know we’ll always love you Even though you’re leaving us behind Be good / be good Be safe / be safe Be kind / be kind And know we’ll always love you Even though you’re leaving us behind
