[Verse 1]
What used to be a house of cards
Has turned into a reservoir
Save the tears that were water fallin'
Let's go swim tonight, darling
And once outside the undertow
Just you and me, and nothing more
If not for love, I would be drownin'
I've seen it work both ways

[Chorus 1]
But I am up ridin' high amongst the waves
Where I can feel like I have a soul that has been saved
Where I can feel like I've put away my early grave
I gotta say it now, better loud than too late

[Verse 2]
Remember back, the early days
When you were young, and less 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 is nothing wrong
Survived and you're amongst the fittest
Love ain't love until you give it up
[Chorus 2]
Ridin' high amongst the waves
I can feel like I have a soul that has been saved
I can see the light comin' through the clouds in rays
I gotta say it now, better loud than too late
Yeah, I say it now, better loud than too late

[Post-Chorus]
Ah, hey, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 2]
Ridin' high amongst the waves
I can feel like I have a soul that has been saved
I can see the light comin' through the clouds in rays
I gotta say it now, better loud than too late
Yeah, I gotta say it now, better loud than too late
Say it now, better loud than too late
Yeah, hey-ah, hey, hey
