Under The WavesA Poem by Omar VegaA song about someone who thought they found the one they could trust in a sea of fakes only to realize that they were wrong.I walked in with no expectations Just wanted a simple conversation No one would give me the time of day That all changed when I met you Words flowed between us so effortlessly You always put my restless heart at ease When did everything between us change? When did the sunshine turn to rain? Why'd you let the ocean carry you away? I'm slipping under the waves With no one to rescue me I'm slipping under the waves With only the echo of my voice Bouncing off the waves to comfort me Before you I never opened up to anyone But as I got to know you I took a chance And let all my defenses melt away I felt a kinship between us and I was right We were one and the same, in perfect sync No one could drive a wedge between us When did everything between us change? When did the sunshine turn to rain? Why'd you let the ocean carry you away? I'm slipping under the waves With no one to rescue me I'm slipping under the waves With only the echo of my voice Bouncing off the waves to comfort me I thought we would last forever But that was a foolish pipe dream I really should have known better As this has happened to me before But I thought you were different I thought I found my happy ending Until you decided to leave me stranded at sea And now that everything is over I have to pay the heaviest price of all I'm slipping under the waves With no one to rescue me I'm slipping under the waves With only the echo of my voice Bouncing off the waves to comfort me My body grows heavier by the second It's as if I was slowly turning to stone I can barely keep my head above water My arms are bound to give out soon I have no choice but to follow suit And let myself sink beneath the waves
