Your price

I wrote this one in 2013. I finished it at Sonic Ranch, and we recorded it on the spot. Fano insisted on using the live demo of me playing piano and singing as the basis. He built the rest of the production around it. It's about a breakup. It's about when everything I planned for just blew up in my face and I was so stunned that I couldn't move. I just trusted that time would move on and take me with it. It was a hopeful devastation.

Lyrics

wait for the wave

Bb Bb/Eb
There's a release
Bb Bb/Eb
That a heart feels when its brushed off a sleeve
Gm
How hard does the wind blow
Ab
And where do you fall
Eb
When it pulls you down
Bb
Im a roman candle
F
You were a blaze
Gm Eb
I just cringe a bit when someone says your name
Cm
No more can I swim
F
No more can I sink
Bb Eb-F-
I Wait for the wave

Gm
Wait for the Wave
Dm
to carry me away
Cm
Through all of the wealth and wane
Eb
Pleasure and Pain
Bb
Wait for the Wave

It was out of the blue, and I fell in the black

It is dark and I reach for you and all the light that I lack

I try to be cavalier, but if you were to come back

Id take you

You were always droppin in, never to stay

I'll contend nothing good gets away

Oh I coud never leave you

and I cannot stay

Ill wait for the wave

outro/Bridge:

Gm
I roll through the rubble
Bb
when you see me
Eb Dm
Back on my hustle, I’ll be free
Cm F
But not for you, for me
Bb
wait for the wave
