You've been waiting for time
And something is playing on your mind
It's been there hiding all the while
Just like the cracks in your smile
Hope is free for you to hold
Your pretty streets are shining gold
But something is wrecking your style
Just like the cracks in your smile
The shoreline finds you alone
The harbour lights will guide you home
You pull the boat off of the sand
You remember a time when he gave a damn
As the tide begins to swell
With your pockets full of shells
Your footprints are gone for a while
Just like the cracks in your smile
