You hear the ways of the sea?

How they crash?

And then go back?

How, no matter what,

They always continue

What they're supposed to do?

Ja, I wish we were like that.

I wish every time

That we'd crash,

I'd keep my faith

That we'll go back.

And we may crash again,

And again,

And again.

But I'd always have the courage

To receed back with you.

Knowing that when we crash,

We won't burn,

That pieces won't go flying in the air

Never to be found again.

That tears won't be shed,

And time won't be spent regretting.

But we aren't the ocean, are we?

No.

We're like the storm

That causes the ocean to rise,

That strikes unexpectedly

And all of a sudden,

That lights up the sky

For that beautiful second

Before covering it

With a blanket of darkness again.

We make the sound of thunder.

Our unspoken words

Stomping around our minds

Until it stops.

It all stops and we just lay there

With our eyes closed just for a second

Until we realize we aren't kids anymore.

So, we open our eyes

And look around

And see the damage we've done

And wonder if it was worth it.

But somehow,

After every storm,

We always seem to end up

With the opposite answers
