The Staves - Great Wave Lyrics

Hello everybody, hello everyone
I never thought this day would come
I am not my body, I'm a side effect
Of everything I've ever done

I have been a coward, running far away
Whenever there's a drop of rain
Left alone to brace myself
In the face of a great wave

Canyon, frontier
Mountain, pioneer

You were gone and I was there
I was there and you were everywhere
I was being dragged down to the deep
And had to fight my way back up for air

To get hit and take it
If I could

If I could lay it on the line
And I could see you riding on that wave
And I could see you riding on that great wave
Then I don't have to be afraid

Hello everybody, hello everyone
I never thought this day would come
I am not my body, I'm a side effect
Of everything I've ever done

High fell, dry spell, unfold
Feather in the inkwell
I didn't think I'd ever know
Just what it is to dance upon the swell

To get hit and take it
If I could

If I could lay it on the line
And I could see you riding on that wave
And I could see you riding on that great wave
Then I don't have to be afraid

If I could lay it on the line
And I could see you riding on that wave
And I could see you riding on that great wave
Then I don't have to be afraid
Then I don't have to be afraid
Then I don't have to be afraid
