Lyrics
Earthquake

Wait – just a little while
You know we’ll be fine just like the last time
Hey – this can’t be over now
Why’d we fight so hard just to end with goodbye
I guess we’re older now
We throw in the towel
As everything we know begins to change
Chorus:
I’m standing on a cliff in the middle of an earthquake
And it’s moved my world just a little more than I can take
I close my eyes, the ground I’m on begins to shake
‘cause you’re not standing here with me
In the middle of an earthquake
Wait – can’t we work it out
You know we’ll want this again just like we once did
Hey – what went wrong with this
Was it something I said or something I missed
I guess we’re wiser now
We had to learn how
To let go when nothing looks the same
Chorus:
I’m standing on a cliff in the middle of an earthquake
And it’s moved my world just a little more than I can take
I close my eyes, the ground I’m on begins to shake
‘cause you’re not standing here with me
Now I’m drowning in tears in the middle of an ocean
These rolling waves of perpetual emotion
Time moves so slow when you’re letting go devotion
And losing’s the way it has to be
Bridge:
I’m on my way back down
Hope I find solid ground
And suddenly there’s beauty in the ashes
Guess some things we let burn
It’s just so hard to learn
To let go destruction as it passes
Chorus:
I’m standing on a cliff in the middle of an earthquake
And it’s moved my world just a little more than I can take
I close my eyes, the ground I’m on begins to shake
‘cause you’re not standing here with me
Now I’m drowning in tears in the middle of an ocean
These rolling waves of perpetual emotion
Time moves so slow when you’re letting go devotion
And losing’s the way it has to be
In the middle of an earthquake
