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
