Rolling Waves

before we sleep can i hear you say?
for the last time, for the last time
like rolling waves
 
before we sleep to just escape
take a piece, take a piece
or just walk away
 
given the time can [bad word] alive?
we are swimming, we are swimming
no warning signs
 
before we sleep can you just say
for the last time today
take a piece or just walk away
like rolling waves
 
like rolling waves
 
these nine hours of delay
like a lifetime, like a lifetime
it falls away
 
you swim from pulling tides
that swallow you at night
let go, let go
into these rolling waves
 
like rolling waves
