Oh honey
You don't have to try so hard
To hurt me
Don't worry
I have been thinking 'bout you too
What do we do
Your heart is where my head should be
The dissonance is killing me
It breaks my heart
It breaks my heart
Oh honey
Oh honey
It's just a wave
It's just a wave
And I know
That when it comes
I just hold on
I just hold on
Oh honey
I have been talking to myself
Just to hear you
And you're saying
Everything I wish you would
And it's so good
It's raining on the mission bell
They're draining out the wishing well
It breaks my heart
It breaks my heart
Oh honey
Oh honey
It's just a wave
It's just a wave
And I know
That when it comes
I just hold on
I just hold on
I rose on you like morning light
In shuttered dream we'll sleep at night
It breaks my heart
It takes all the love I have to say
I know we're gonna be ok
It breaks my heart
It breaks my heart
Oh honey
Oh honey
It's just a wave
It's just a wave
And I know
That when it comes
I just hold on
Until it's gone
