Chords

Remember today that you are loved
What?
Think back to days in hidden caves
They’re still so small I gave them everything
They’d paint your eyes with sunsets
My saints, my sighs, my upsets, and the days I couldn’t cope
And the waves
Oh the waves

Remember they are safe
I forgot to pack them lunches
Think back to paddling pools and rainy days where they would
I need a drink or two
Harmonise with echoes Nor are you
With charcoal eyes, stilettos, they’re not ready
But the waves, oh the waves

Oh
I don’t want them to go
Oh
Just tell them what your haggard mother told you long ago

Pick your chords well loves
But sing your notes off key
You can’t rehearse the chorus
But the verse is sweet
And if your voice begins to crack
And you ever feel alone
They might laugh because you’re leaving
But know we’ll sing your name when you come home

Remember today hey we did our best
I know they think I’m nightmare
Come paddle by the shore
I guessed, pushed them, pushed them all
You are your own magician, let the ocean give to you
And by my own admission, had no notion what to do
Its waves
Oh the waves
Ah, bollocks to your waves

Remember today you’re enough
Please don’t do this my heart is breaking
Know they love you you tried You did but So did they
But I raged so much But so did they
We built our castles just to watch them wash away
They are my rascals I can’t let them walk away
In the waves, oh the waves
Hold my hand

Oh
I need them to stay
Oh
Just remember those wicked words your mother used to say

Pick your chords well loves
But sing your notes off key
You dad will forget the words
And fucking bastard what is it
And if your voice begins to crack
And you ever feel alone
They might laugh because you’re leaving
But know we’ll sing your name when you come home

Walk into your waves my loves
Tell them all your names
Go tell them how we failed you
And gift to us all your blame
‘Cause we’ll be all that you hate about yourself
So you can grow
‘Cause life begins by leaving
And our love is shown in the letting go

Go walk into your dawn you snotrags
Tell them that we never cared
Go tell them how we fucked you up
And oh my God it’s so unfair
We were the winter nights
So you could be the morning snow
Your life begins by leaving
And our love is shown
In the letting go

Be good / be good
Be safe / be safe
Be kind / be kind
And know we’ll always love you
Even though you’re leaving us behind
Be good / be good
Be safe / be safe
Be kind / be kind
And know we’ll always love you
Even though you’re leaving us behind
