You were in your own mind
I was on my own time
We had something sweet
But nothing we could keep
We watched it all dissolve underneath our feet

Like waves upon the shoreline
You were taking your time
We had something sweet
But nothing we could keep
Watched it all dissolve underneath our feet


Already running away
Can't hear a word I say
I can't just argue with the back of your head

You knew what I had in mind
And what I just can't find
Is a reason why you feel so misled


I can't see myself being with someone like you
But when we're alone I like the things that we do
No, I can't see myself being with someone like you
When we're alone I like the things that we do


You were in your own mind
I was on my own time
We had something sweet
But nothing we could keep
We watched it all dissolve underneath our feet

Like waves upon the shoreline
You were taking your time, yeah
We had something sweet
But nothing we could keep
We watched it all dissolve underneath our feet


Let's rewind and see how we got here
I didn't lead you blind
You got stuck in your own fears
Take me back to the day
When I'd never seen your tears
But all is hear is your words ringing through my ears

No, I can't see myself being with someone like you
But when we're alone I like the things that we do
No, I can't see myself being with someone like you
When we're alone I like the things that we do


You were in your own mind
I was on my own time
We had something sweet
But nothing we could keep
Watched it all dissolve underneath our feet

Like waves upon the shoreline
You were taking your time, yeah
We had something sweet
But nothing we could keep
We watched it all dissolve underneath our feet


You knew what this was when it started
Don't say I'm wasting your time
You're just wasting mine


No, I can't see myself being with someone like you
But when we're alone I like the things that we do
No, I can't see myself being with someone like you
When we're alone I like the things that we do


Like waves upon the shoreline
You were taking your time, yeah
We had something sweet
But nothing we could keep
We watched it all dissolve underneath our feet
