Waves and Waves

about

At the heart of this song is a question: How can you be complete in a romantic relationship? Give it up, or give yourself to it? Of course, it’s not either/or, and those meanings emerge and retract like tides, or like creamer when you first add it to coffee. This song initially was quiet, acoustic, and finger-picked at a faster tempo. But when we slowed it down and added the heavy electric guitar, we felt the song better embodied the spirit of that central question.

lyrics

Crossing out empty on your puzzle sheet
Taking your coffee with sugar and cream

Waves and waves
Possibilities
What you give and what you give up
To be complete

I’m pulling up anchor from the canyon deep
Treading through water I don’t want to meet
And I can’t remember how to stay on my feet

Waves and waves and waves
Possibilities
What you give and what you give up
To be complete

Applying your makeup in the early morn
With brushes and pencils like the artist reborn
The painting and painter hanging together
In a reflection until the moment is gone
