I’ll meet you at the wedding
All dressed in black
By the seaside
For what our friends have,
Unlike our ride
Before the swell crashed
They’re guided by something
In the stars we never had.
This is their time;
We’ll never find a way, so,
Let’s throw our roses
Into the ocean
Into every drop of water
That surprised us,
Let’s throw all of our roses
Into the ocean
And one of us can
Swim for the horizon.
Do you hear their
Undying love be cast?
Stronger than the waves
That crush the sand,
Unlike their vows
Our undertow lasts
To pull us out unexpectedly
Far from the land.
This is their time;
We never could find the way…
We never could swim
Against the facts
But right now it’s still
Polite to raise a glass,
We’ll wait until the
Winds are holding fast
To throw our roses and
Toast the never-will-haves.
This is their time;
We’ll never find a way, so,
Let’s throw our roses
Into the ocean
Into every teardrop of water
That surprised us,
Let’s throw all of our roses
Into the ocean
I promise I’ll wave to you
From the horizon.
