Amongst the Waves Lyrics
What used to be a house of cards
Has turned into a reservoir Save the tears that were waterfalling Let's go swim tonight, darlin' And once outside the undertow Just you and me and nothin' more If not for love I would be drownin I've seen it work both ways But I am up Riding high amongst the waves I can feel like I Have a soul that has been saved I can feel like I've Put away my early grave I gotta say it now Better now than too late Remember back the early days When you were young and thus amazed Suddenly the channel changed the first time you saw blood Cut to later now you're strong You've bled yourself the wounds are gone It's rare when there's nothing wrong Survive and you're amongst the fittest Love ain't love until you give it up Riding high amongst the waves I can feel like I Have a soul that has been saved I can see the light Coming through the clouds in rays I gotta say it now Better now than too late |

Lots of stuff coming from it, love, living life, reflecting on life.
Beautiful

I think this song is about loving, and losing love. In the first verse, the speaker is in love, "if not for love I would be drowning". And he's incredibly happy, "I am up/Riding high amongst the waves". Later on, "the channel changed/The first time you saw blood". He's been hurt for the first time. But after having been hurt, later on, "Now you're strong/You've bled yourself, the wounds are gone". So, even though he's loved and lost, he's stronger for the experience.
"Love ain't love until you give it up": In my opinion, the best lyric in the song. Sums up the character's experience.
Just incredible songwriting, Ed.

It's because they have both loved and lost that they can love each other fully (because you know what's like to lose it). "Love ain't love until you give it up"
