Wave Emoji

If there’s one thing that I’ve learned from the beach
It’s that you’re better in retrospect
Or when you’re not in reach
Staring out at the boring sea
I felt the wave wash over me
It’s an ageless motif that goes back centuries
Highest marks for the absentee
I was inundated
No I couldn’t make you laugh
I was inundated oh no
Ready to drown or face the dull unknown
Are you even proud of your artistic life?
Will you look back in a year
Over beers for your tears
In disgust at the songs that you’ll write?
Well it was 6−6-6 before
I begged for it to stop
Now it’s 7−7-7 I’ve hit the jackpot alright
But that doesn’t mean
Those feelings can’t creep up on a wednesday night
