Intro: I tell myself this is the last time But I’ve said that every night Verse 1: Some days I feel ten feet tall Like I finally outran it all Other days I can’t get out of bed Drowning in words I never said I chase the high, I fear the fall I swear I’ve learned, then lose it all Every calm feels borrowed time Every smile’s on the dotted line Pre-Chorus: I know the crash is coming soon But I still lean into the blue Chorus: I come in waves, I rise, I break I’m not okay, I’m still awake I feel it all, I don’t escape I come in waves I touch the sky, then lose my ground I’m not lost, I’m just not found If I fall back into the gray I come in waves Verse 2: They say β€œbe proud of how you’ve grown” Like growth don’t hurt down to the bone I’ve been better, I’ve been worse I’ve been a blessing and a curse I hold my breath when things feel good Like peace is never understood I keep one foot outside the door Just in case I start to sink again Pre-Chorus: I know the tide won’t always stay But I still swim into the day Chorus: I come in waves, I rise, I break I’m not healed, but I’m not fake I let it hit, I let it stay I come in waves I lose my grip, I find my face I don’t move on, I learn my pace If I fall back into the gray I come in waves Bridge: Maybe I don’t need a straight line Maybe I don’t need to be fine If I bend, it doesn’t mean I’m weaker than I’ve ever been I’m not drowning, I’m afloat Even when I lose the rope If I’m breaking, I still breathe That’s enough belief for me Final Chorus: I come in waves, I rise, I fall Still standing after all of it all I feel it deep, I don’t look away I come in waves I won’t pretend I’m always strong But I’m still here, still moving on If I crash, I’ll find my way I come in waves Outro: I don’t disappear I just change with the tide
