lyrics

I won't move, close the windows to this empty room
Lose sense of time and space, and I'll pretend I age
As I choose

I trace my scars, they tell the truest tales of who we are
And I'll try to understand, that's while that’s who I am
It’s not who I'll be

Cause we're waves that take a shape, crash, and rearrange
A thousand times a day
And as the sunsets on the shore we're nothing less or more
No matter how we change

It's beautiful as we fall apart

I pull the shades, no, the dark that hides here, can't escape
As long as it's inside, I can still decide
To "be not afraid"

Can empty hands bear the weight of such an empty man
So far from seventeen and just as incomplete
As I am

Cause we're waves that take a shape, crash, and rearrange
A thousand times a day
And as the sun rises again, it's harder to pretend
I ever knew the way

It's beautiful as I fall apart
