As I watch the waves crash below
I give it up and I just let go
Throw my worries to the sea
One day they'll flow back to me
With all the troubles that one man faces
There has to be a few he erases
You can't look all problems in the eye
Let them drift away as the wind blows by

Chorus:
There's no consolation in constant frustration
I was waiting for a way out but I'm done being patient
Sending all my troubles to go splashing in the water
There's only pain in regret so why even bother

Pain is an addiction we all must someday feed
But to live my life in misery is one memory that I don't need
Guess you could say that I'm the type to dwell in the past
So when I'm stuck in this situation don't need to think about the last
Trapped under this water and I need to gasp for air
And I can't find no comfort in living in despair
I'm gonna toss my cares into the next swell
Let the ocean quench this burning hell

(Chorus)

Digging my seat into the sand
I gave myself my own helping hand
Soaking in the sun, basking in my rays
I finally shine a little brighter these days
I have no issues, I have no qualms
Everything is great where I'm looking from
Each set of waves crashing down I wonder if it'll be
The one that brings all my problems crashing back down on me

(Chorus)

Hey everybody, this one's intended to be a song, in case you couldn't tell

Oh wow...this has got to be one of the best written songs I've read on Pip. It could even hear it as I read it, before I even knew it was intended to be a song! The flow of this was just awesome! Awesome awesome awesome! And yes, I am in awe...
Super work here! Most excellent!

Thanks for the replies. Uh, I'd say something else but I have a plane to catch. I've been in Michigan and now I'm going, going back back to Cali, Cali
