Lyrics

Waves roll on by. waves roll on by
Waves roll on by. waves roll on by
Life, pass on by. life, pass on by
By the time you try, you go and die
And the wind is at our backs. no need to hurry back
Just stay on the track, keeping the wind at our backs

You're only worth one wish that you'll probably never make
You're just making the least, babe
Of all the time that you're awake
You can see the trouble before it comes
Why don't you just go and cast it out?
But you've always been hard
Well, I've always been had
Yeah, I've always been had
Yeah, I've always been had
Maybe it's not so bad
I just know when puddles form
I don't stay inside and let it pour
There's better forecasts for me
And I'll let the rain roll off my back
And if you've always been sad
Maybe it's not so bad
And years amount to back accounts
And all is well on all accounts
And finally they set you free yeah, all expenses paid
You never had a chance, they always taught you bad
The only life you had was the one you made

You're only worth one wish that you'll probably never make
You only get one chance that you know you'll never take
And the dream that's in your heart
And how it sleeps when you're awake
You never lived a day
But you swear on your mother's grave
Like you swore this time you'd stay
You're making the most of the time that you're awake
