lyrics

Why don’t we wave our arms in front of us together, like they’re floating on the water
Let’s bring them down and to the left, and up and to the right, then back the other way
If you calculate the distance between the furthest left and furthest right
What you’re measuring is the wavelength of the wave

Pretend the water’s getting choppier, and your arms are bobbing further down and further up
Let’s bring them way way down and bring them way way up, and then we do the same
If you calculate the distance between the highest and the lowest points
What you’re measuring is the amplitude of the wave

Everything is waves
Everything is waves
Everything is waves
Everything is waves
And waves
Go up and down
And side to side
They’re all around
The sound we hear
The light we see
Matter and energy
You know that everything is waves

Why don’t we make our waves go a little faster now
Let’s bring them down, and up, and down, and up, then back the other way
If you calculate how many waves you do for every bar of this song
What you’re measuring is the frequency of the wave

I found it most peculiar these phenomena behave
In some ways like a particle, in others like a wave
And maybe on some level they are really just the same
If everything is particles and everything is waves
