I'll ride the wave, where it takes me!

You don't love me. If you really knew me, you wouldn't love me. You love who you think I am. And don't pretend that you know me. Because I don't even know myself.

I know I was born and I know that I'll die... The in between is mine. I Am Mine

It's saying, just stop, and be together. Don't talk now, just breathe and feel each other's presence.

Music's at its best when it has a purpose.
