they told him it's better
to stay off the roof in stormy weather
but he thought it's not true
so the wind came to take him
down to the shore
it felt like things that he lived for
don't matter anymore
he saw his mum
out of the corner of his eye
reaching for her son
they told her it's better
to stay in her room in stormy weather
but she thought it's not true
so she stood by the railing
with her eyes on the sea
when the waves came to take her
she tried so hard to breathe
she was kept underwater for miles and miles and miles and miles
she dreamt of growing older
and she knew it wasn't time to die
beneath he saw the ocean
he felt the wind was slowing down
he saw her riding the waves
when his feet softly touched the ground
and as they collide
like the wind and the waves
they knew they were right
all those things that people told her
in times when life was colder
they never really meant a thing
this wasn't the world that she believed in
and now she found out on her own
that life means so much more
when you're not scared of rough ways
to find your real love some day
