A Wave Across a Bay
I spoke with Scott last night
I was tired, but I wasn't sleeping
And despite what you think, I wasn't drinking
I was just finally ready to listen
And he was there, alright
And though he'd probably kill me just for saying this
Given how the both of us are atheists
But there it is
There must have been a moment, just before you hit the water
When you were filled with a sense of peace and understanding
With the wind in your hair and a light in your eyes
As you realized you were finally escaping
But somehow in that moment, you miraculously miss it
Like a wave across a bay never breaking
And that's how I like to think of you, ever falling, never landing
Rolling slowly out to sea and always smiling
You were always smiling
God damn, I miss you, man
It was just weeks before you went that we were speaking
I just wish that you had told me you were leaving
Before you walked your final mile
I'm not pissed off at you, man
You had something in your soul that we could recognize
You were one of us, but you worked out how you could survive
At least for a while
There must have been a moment, just before you hit the water
When you were filled with a sense of peace and understanding
With the wind in your hair and a light in your eyes
As you realized you were finally escaping
But somehow in that moment, you miraculously miss it
Like a wave across a bay never breaking
And that's how I like to think of you, ever falling, never landing
Rolling slowly out to sea and always smiling
You were always smiling
You were a wave across a bay never breaking
You were a wave across a bay never breaking
Out to the sea
Ever falling, never landing
You were a wave across a bay never breaking
You were a wave across a bay never breaking
Out to the sea
Ever falling, never landing
You were a wave across a bay never breaking
You were a wave across a bay never breaking
Out to the sea
You were always smiling
Una Ola a Través de una Bahía
Hablé con Scott anoche
Estaba cansado, pero no estaba durmiendo
Y a pesar de lo que pienses, no estaba bebiendo
Finalmente estaba listo para escuchar
Y él estaba allí, bien
Y aunque probablemente me mataría por decir esto
Dado que ambos somos ateos
Pero ahí está
Debe haber sido un momento, justo antes de que tocaras el agua
Cuando estabas lleno de paz y comprensión
Con el viento en tu cabello y una luz en tus ojos
Al darte cuenta de que finalmente estabas escapando
Pero de alguna manera en ese momento, milagrosamente lo pierdes
Como una ola a través de una bahía que nunca rompe
Y así es como me gusta pensar en ti, siempre cayendo, nunca aterrizando
Rodando lentamente hacia el mar y siempre sonriendo
Siempre estabas sonriendo
Maldita sea, te extraño, hombre
Fue solo semanas antes de que te fueras que estábamos hablando
Ojalá me hubieras dicho que te ibas
Antes de caminar tu última milla
No estoy enojado contigo, hombre
Tenías algo en tu alma que podíamos reconocer
Eras uno de nosotros, pero descubriste cómo sobrevivir
Al menos por un tiempo
Debe haber sido un momento, justo antes de que tocaras el agua
Cuando estabas lleno de paz y comprensión
Con el viento en tu cabello y una luz en tus ojos
Al darte cuenta de que finalmente estabas escapando
Pero de alguna manera en ese momento, milagrosamente lo pierdes
Como una ola a través de una bahía que nunca rompe
Y así es como me gusta pensar en ti, siempre cayendo, nunca aterrizando
Rodando lentamente hacia el mar y siempre sonriendo
Siempre estabas sonriendo
Eras una ola a través de una bahía que nunca rompe
Eras una ola a través de una bahía que nunca rompe
Hacia el mar
Siempre cayendo, nunca aterrizando
Eras una ola a través de una bahía que nunca rompe
Eras una ola a través de una bahía que nunca rompe
Hacia el mar
Siempre cayendo, nunca aterrizando
Eras una ola a través de una bahía que nunca rompe
Eras una ola a través de una bahía que nunca rompe
Hacia el mar
Siempre estabas sonriendo
