Текст песни: When You First See the Waves + перевод

You were just a kid; you were sixteen

Driving too fast but you hadn’t been drinking

Wearing a dress with no sleeves

Wrapped your car around a pole by the fourteenth hole of the Elks Club putting

green

You were probably gonna go to school out of state

If you kept up your grades

Maybe USC, you wanna live in LA

But you never set foot on a plane

Now the world will never know the look on your face

When you first see the waves

I was just a kid; I was thirteen

News came on the school intercom and I just started crying

Barely knew your first and last name

Probably said hi at most once or twice so it felt strange, it felt wrong,

it felt profane

For me you were right at the edge of my page

For some you were right at the center, baby

I was throwing rocks into the depth of their pain

And what a faint little splash they made

Well don’t life just happen on a regular day?

That’s when I first heard the waves
