lyrics

I told myself I couldn't love him
That I could never settle forever
Stay chained together
To a guy that adored me, but endlessly bored me
Told me stories of all the girls he'd loved before me
But he held me when I could find nobody else to call my own
And eventually, forgetting everything I thought I'd always known,
Set free alone, by all the thoughts up in my head
Condemned never to satisfy my heart again

Hey! Pay mind to what I got to say
One day, hey!
You'll scream your secrets at yourself
But you won't know how to listen
So hey! Trust your gut, shut your lust
And ride the wave right into the night

You see, the thing I came to realize I won't soon forget
is don't do anything your future self might soon regret
Get out while you still can, you'll find another man
The sea is filled with fish
You know, it doesn't matter which you end up with
'Cause life has ways of granting every wish
And you can't anticipate the things you swear you'd never miss
So here's a kiss! Goodbye to having all control
Ride the next wave like it don't matter if you stand or fall

Hey! Pay mind to what I got to say
One day, hey!
You'll scream your secrets at yourself
But you won't know how to listen
So hey! Trust your gut, shut your lust
And ride the wave right into the night
