A Wave Across A Bay

I spoke with Scott last night
 I was tired but I wasn't sleeping
 And despite what you think I wasn't drinking
 I was just finally ready to listen
 And he was there alright
 And though he'd probably kill me just for saying this
 Given how the both of us are atheists
 There it is
 There must have been a moment
 Just before you hit the water
 When you were filled with a sense of peace and understanding
 With the wind in your hair
 And the light in your eyes
 As you realized you were finally escaping
 But somehow in that moment
 You miraculously missed it
 Like a wave across a bay never breaking
 And that's how I like to think of you
 Ever falling, never landing
 Rolling solely out to sea and always smiling
 
 You were always smiling
 ♪
 Goddamn I miss you man
 It was just weeks before you left that we were speaking
 I just wish that you had told me you were leaving
 Before you walked your final mile
 I'm not pissed off at you man
 But you had something in your soul that we could recognize
 You were one of us but you'd worked out how you could survive
 At least for a while
 There must have been a moment
 Just before you hit the water
 When you were filled with a sense of peace and understanding
 With the wind in your hair
 And the light in your eyes
 As you realized you were finally escaping
 But somehow in that moment
 You miraculously missed it
 Like a wave across a bay never breaking
 And that's how I like to think of you
 Ever falling, never landing
 Rolling solely out to sea and always smiling
 You were always smiling
 You were a wave across a bay never breaking
 You were a wave across a bay never breaking
 Out to the sea
 Ever falling, never landing
 You were a wave across a bay never breaking
 You were a wave across a bay never breaking
 Out to the sea
 Ever falling, never landing
 You were a wave across a bay never breaking
 You were a wave across a bay never breaking
 Out to the sea
 You were always smiling
