She raises like a wave to the sky
With the first calls not yet come
No thoughts of any
All thoughts of one
And she's like a bright new penny
My golden dreams of life unchanged
But she can't live without a name
To grow is to cry, to cry is to learn
About everything gone
But cannot be warned
And drama of a life is way too long
Chorus:
Running from the first sweet taste
Innocence has gone to waste
Sorry I can't save her from the wave
Sorry I can't save her from the wave
And she's got a brand-new hairdo
Life's all screwed up
But it's not that bad
Funny she loves, but can't be true
And she's so sad
Till she's breaking again
Chorus:
Running from the first sweet taste
Innocence has gone to waste
Sorry I can't save her from the wave
Sorry I can't save her from the wave
Dress is blowing in the wind
But the wave never ends
Fuller than ever with a heart together
And nights she sleeps and cries
And wonders why she's not satisfied
All her guys are all the same
Her golden dreams of life have changed
But she can't live without a name
And she realizes
To grow is to cry, to cry is to learn
About everything gone
And she cannot be warned
Drama of her life is way too long
Chorus:
Running from the first sweet taste
Innocence has gone to waste
Sorry I can't save her from the wave
Sorry I can't save her from the wave
