Lyrics, Romanization & English Translation

There is a swelling storm

And I'm caught up in the middle of it all

And it takes control

Of the person that I thought I was

The boy I used to know

But there is a light

In the dark, and I feel its warmth

In my hands and my heart

Why can't I hold on?

It comes and goes in waves

It always does, always does

We watch as our young hearts fade

Into the flood, into the flood

The freedom of falling

A feeling I thought was set in stone

It slips through my fingers

I'm trying hard to let go

It comes and goes in waves

It comes and goes in waves

And carries us away

Through the wind

Down to the place we used to lay when we were kids

Memories of a stolen place

Caught in the silence

An echo lost in space

It comes and goes in waves

It always does, it always does

We watch as our young hearts fade

Into the flood, into the flood

The freedom of falling

A feeling I thought was set in stone

It slips through my fingers

I'm trying hard to let go

It comes and goes in waves

It comes and goes in waves

And carries us away

I watched my wild youth

Disappear in front of my eyes

Moments of magic and wonder

It seems so hard to find

Is it ever coming back again?

Is it ever coming back again?

Take me back to the feeling when

Everything was left to find

It comes and goes in waves

It always does, oh it always does

And the freedom of falling

A feeling I thought was set in stone

It slips through my fingers

I'm trying hard to let go

It comes and goes in waves

It comes and goes in waves

And carries us away
