This one's for the lonely
The ones that seek and find
Only to be let down
Time after time

This one's for the torn down
The experts at the fall
Common friends get up now
You're not alone at all

And this part was for her
This part was for her
This part was for her
Does she remember?

It comes and goes in waves, i....

This one's for the faithless
The ones that are surprised
They are only where they are now
Regardless of their fight

This one's for believing
If only for it's sake
Common friends get up now
Love is to be made

And this part was for her
This part was for her
This part was for her
Does she remember?

It comes and goes in waves,
I am only let to wonder why
It comes and goes in waves
I am only let to wonder why
Why I try

This is for the ones who stand
For the ones who try again
For the ones who need a hand
For the ones who think they can

It comes and goes in waves,
I am only let to wonder why
It comes and goes in waves
I am only let to wonder why
Why I try

    General Comment:This wonderful piece of music helped get me through a family death, break up, and hard finals all at once. It is truly a piece that will stay with me forever.

    What a wonderful talent Greg Laswell possesses. Life does go on! Such a beautiful song.

    General Comment:it's one of the best songs ever written

    this song is for losers...but especially for those who think they can do it better!! (i don't know what concept of losers people you have but, loser is anyone who never wins, health, sports, economically, popularity, whatever)

    never lose hope!

    General Comment:I saw him in LA twice and Mandy Moore was at both shows and they left together both times. There are pictures of them together on the Internet. I still refuse to believe he dated her and that any song is about her. Her music is so explicitly terrible. Or if they did date, he broke up with her because of her music. :). My friend saw him in New York and watched him walk right up to a girl after his set and kiss her on the lips and then walked out. My friend asked her if she was dating Greg and she said that she had never met him!!!! Pretty hot if you ask me.

    General Comment:This is the first song I have heard from him. Itunes recommended it for me and I'm so happy they did. This song is amazing and his voice is so passionately hypnotic. Because this song is so amazing, I am going to check out his other stuff

    PS He dated Mandy Moore?!
