Listen to the waves
Everything communicates
Will it ever be
Anything more than wishful thinking?
Oh no, there you go
Looked away and missed the show
How much wasted time will you survive?
Feel the blades of grass
How it brings you back
It will always be
Only as green
As you can see
Oh no, there you go
Looked away and missed the show
How much wasted time will you survive?
Oh yeah, fooled again
I don't know how and I don't know when
Not much else to blame but wishful thinking
Little breakdowns in coastal towns
They come suddenly
Crashing over you
They come easily
I'm falling through the skies
And frozen places
Oh no, there you go
Looked away and missed the show
How much wasted time will you survive?
Oh yeah, fooled again
I don't know how and I don't know when
Not much else to blame but wishful thinking
And I try to realise that I needn't look any further
The whole of the universe is plain to see
And I try not to rely on another world or the future
The whole of the universe is a mystery
And it gets me over
It gets me over you, ohhh
And it gets me over
It gets me over you
Everything communicates
Will it ever be
Anything more than wishful thinking?
Oh no, there you go
Looked away and missed the show
How much wasted time will you survive?
Feel the blades of grass
How it brings you back
It will always be
Only as green
As you can see
Oh no, there you go
Looked away and missed the show
How much wasted time will you survive?
Oh yeah, fooled again
I don't know how and I don't know when
Not much else to blame but wishful thinking
Little breakdowns in coastal towns
They come suddenly
Crashing over you
They come easily
I'm falling through the skies
And frozen places
Oh no, there you go
Looked away and missed the show
How much wasted time will you survive?
Oh yeah, fooled again
I don't know how and I don't know when
Not much else to blame but wishful thinking
And I try to realise that I needn't look any further
The whole of the universe is plain to see
And I try not to rely on another world or the future
The whole of the universe is a mystery
And it gets me over
It gets me over you, ohhh
And it gets me over
It gets me over you
