There is a swelling storm And I'm caught up in the middle of it all And it takes control Of the person that I thought I was The boy I used to know There is a light in the dark And I feel it's warm in my hands and my heart But why can't I hold on? Cos it comes and goes in waves It always does, it always does And we watch as our young hearts fade Into the flood, into the flood And the freedom of falling And the feeling I thought was set in stone It slips through my fingers And I'm trying hard to let go But it comes and goes in waves Oh, it comes and goes in waves And carries us away Through the wind And down to the place we used to lay when we were kids Memories of a stolen place Caught in the silence, a necklace lost in space But it comes and goes in waves It always does, it always does And we watch as our young hearts fade Into the flood, into the flood And the freedom of falling And the feeling I thought was set in stone It slips through my fingers And I'm trying hard to let go But it comes and goes in waves Cos it comes and goes in waves And carries us away And I've watched my wild youth Disappear in front of my eyes Moments of magic and wonder It seems so hard to find Is it ever coming back again? Is it ever coming back again? And take me back to the feeling Where everything was left to find Cos it comes and goes in waves It always does, it always does And the freedom of falling And the feeling I thought was set in stone It slips through my fingers And I'm trying hard to let go But it comes and goes in waves Cos it comes and goes in waves And carries us away
