If we had the words in times like these
We wouldn't have to stare
We'd both know
What to say and how to pray
The things to do to save the day

Some will call it sacrifice, they'll look at this
And never see the beauty or how much it means
The blood that runs inside of me
I know you understand that there's no map for this, no plan

And the way we say goodbye
Is not that way that anyone would do
Like a wave out on the ocean
I will always come right back to you

I could blink, not a moment is gone
We'll pick up where we left off

It's like the world is draped in a camouflage
And sometimes never what it seems
Everyone's got different things
They hide behind or try to be

But the things I carry with me, all remind me who I am
When so much of me is not with me
What matters most is what I leave behind for you to keep
Yeah, so smile when you think of me

And though the way we say goodbye
Is not that way that anyone would do
Like a wave out on the ocean
I will always come right back to you

I could blink and not a moment is gone
Yeah, we'll pick up where we left off

Oh, the way we say goodbye
Is not the way that anyone would do
Like a wave out on the ocean
I will always come right back to you

Nothing changed, nothing fades, nothing lost
And we pick up where we left off
