Second single from acoustic rock group, Local Dive

lyrics

Every day brings another sunset, evening moonlight takes the tide to sea
They leave me lonely as I sit and wonder why…….
The Autumn air has flowers wilting, it causes all the birds to flee
They leave me lonely as I sit and wonder why……they never stay

Just wait a while, it’ll all come back ‘round
The seasons like to ebb and flow, you can’t let yourself drown
When storms are blowin’ you can’t jump off the bow
So batten down and hold on tight until the waves flatten out
Just fight a while, till you get back on dry ground
You got nowhere to go but up, you might as well not back down

Every morning is a new reminder, of all the troubles that I can’t forget
They keep me company as I sit and wonder why……
Everybody has a cross to bear, everybody has some blood to let
I keep ‘em company as they sit and wonder why……they have to stay

Just wait a while, it’ll all come back ‘round
The seasons like to ebb and flow, you can’t let yourself drown
When storms are blowin’ you can’t jump off the bow
So batten down and hold on tight until the waves flatten out
Just fight a while, till you get back on dry ground
You got nowhere to go but up, you might as well not back down

Every second feels just like an hour, I guess I gotta bide my time
Remember that I have to be the reason why…….
And I will spend the rest of my life, telling you you’ll be just fine
Remember that I’m glad to be the reason why……you want to stay
