The Wave

Intro: verse 1 We were talking on a boardwalk We were lit up when the lights came down So we drifted toward the music And you kissed me as the sound Of my favorite band was playing But I couldn't hear them 'cause my heart Was beatin' loud and out a rhythm As you drowned out all the dark I was a boat trapped in a bottle Dying for water You were the ocean I was a compass that couldn't find heaven I didn't know how bad I was broken I was castaway with no land I drew a broken heart in the sand And you were the wave the wave the wave That washed it all That washed it all away Instrumental verse 2 We talked for a couple of hours We got salt all over our jeans And we laughed about forever What the hell did that really mean And all of a sudden thanks to you My favorite color is blue I never saw you coming Sweet salvation and I never knew I was a boat trapped in a bottle Dying for water You were the ocean I was a compass that couldn't find heaven I didn't know how bad I was broken I was castaway with no land I drew a broken heart in the sand And you were the wave the wave the wave That washed it all That washed it all away Bridge I was a town closed for winter I was a Ferris wheel with the light burnt out 'Til you came along, when you came along Chorus I was a boat trapped in a bottle Dying for water You were the ocean I was a compass that couldn't find heaven I didn't know how bad I was broken I was castaway with no land I drew a broken heart in the sand That washed it all That washed it all away Yeah you washed it all away You were the wave the wave the wave Yeah that washed it all away Outro (x4)
