Before you speak
What you can't rehearse
Before the tide
You can't reverse
The pounding of your heart
The rhythm of the surf
A blessing you would curse
If you only had the words
For the sleepless dark water that's caught you in waves of longing and doubt
Before you're strong enough to stop what you started here
Before you choose
Uncertain days
A silver cloud
A breath of haze
A fog upon the coast
A ghost of happiness
A sadness you would bless
If you only could confess
To the sleepless dark water that's caught you in waves of longing and doubt
Before you're strong enough to stop what you started here
You always know the ending
The waves will come
To steal the silence
To feel the wind upon your face
You make a promise
Before you can be saved
The sleepless dark water that's caught you in waves of longing and doubt
Before you're strong enough to stop what you started here
You always know the ending
The waves will come
The waves will come apart
What you can't rehearse
Before the tide
You can't reverse
The pounding of your heart
The rhythm of the surf
A blessing you would curse
If you only had the words
For the sleepless dark water that's caught you in waves of longing and doubt
Before you're strong enough to stop what you started here
Before you choose
Uncertain days
A silver cloud
A breath of haze
A fog upon the coast
A ghost of happiness
A sadness you would bless
If you only could confess
To the sleepless dark water that's caught you in waves of longing and doubt
Before you're strong enough to stop what you started here
You always know the ending
The waves will come
To steal the silence
To feel the wind upon your face
You make a promise
Before you can be saved
The sleepless dark water that's caught you in waves of longing and doubt
Before you're strong enough to stop what you started here
You always know the ending
The waves will come
The waves will come apart
