Lyrics
YOU'RE GONNA SEE THE DUST RISE,
YOU'RE GONNA FEEL THE DAY LIGHT.
IT WAS SUDDEN, BUT NO SURPRISE.
YOU'VE JUST GOT TO LET HER GO.
HOW CAN SHE BE AT PEACE,
HOW CAN HER SOUL BE RELEASED
HOW CAN HER SPIRIT RISE,
WHEN SHE'S ALWAYS ON YOUR MIND?
CHORUS
YOU'VE GOTTA LIVE IN THE MOMENT,
YOU'RE ALWAYS LIVING LIKE YOU'RE SOMEBODY ELSE.
YOU'VE GOTTA LIVE IN THE MOMENT,
YOU'RE ALWAYS LIVING LIKE YOU'RE SOMEBODY ELSE.
VERSE TWO
YOU TOLD HER ALL YOUR SECRETS,
SHE WAS THERE WHEN YOU NEEDED IT MOST.
YOU KNEW THAT SHE WAS LEAVING.
YOU'VE GOTTA LET GO OF HER GHOST.
HOW CAN HER SPIRIT FLY,
YOU KEEP
HANGING ON (YOU KEEP HANGING ON)
HOW CAN HER SOUL RISE, WHEN
SHE'S ALWAYS ON YOUR MIND.
CHORUS
AND THE WORLD WON'T CHANGE FOR YOU,
SCREAMING AT THE OCEAN WON'T STOP THE WAVES.
IT WON'T CHANGE FOR YOU.
SCREAMING AT THE OCEAN WON'T STOP THE WAVES.
IT WON'T CHANGE.
SCREAMING AT THE OCEAN WON'T STOP (WONT STOP, WONT STOP, WONT STOP...)
SCREAMING AT THE OCEAN...
CHORUS
