"the waves"

The boys are the first to break
The men can hold on a bit longer
But the result is always the same
Sometimes you just got to push harder

The seaside reminds me of this
The dark clouds and a shower
The waves crash in to the mist
And the sands forgiveness is her power

So now I am back in the city again
But I can still hear the waves laughing
Forcing me to raise my voice
No one hears over their own asking

The boys might be the first to break
And the men they hold up a bit longer
The women are the first to yell
And the girls well they just cower

I don’t know why I have to see it so clear
Everyone else seems so much happier
If I could only just turn off the noise
And to disappear would be my power
