Under The Waves - Pete Droge

Under the waves, deep in the drift

I can feel the salt upon my skin

Under the waves, falling away

I no longer see the rings of rain

I want to feel it, if just to know it’s true

Look me over- it’s just a surface wound

Don’t pay to fight it;

can’t change the color blue

All I wanted was to impress you

Under the waves, caught in a dream

Lover, can you hear me breathing?

Under the waves, now that I’m giving up

I can let the current carry me

I want to feel it, if just to know it’s true

Look me over- it’s just a surface wound

Don’t pay to fight it;

can’t change the color blue

All I wanted was to impress you

And if I catch myself crying

For things I cannot control

I’ll head on back to the wall

Where tears are invisible

Under the waves, I know who I am

I don’t need to spin the story

Under the waves, down in the deep

I no longer see the rings of rain
