This Wave

[Verse 1] He's gonna burn up deep in Texas I'll freeze alone in New York City We made the best of a disaster And I pull my jacket closer [Verse 2] I lit a candle for you in Rome I did the same in Mexico Oh, won't you tap me on the shoulder When the scary scene is over? [Verse 3] I feel as guilty as Jiminy And like a piggy-headed Yankee But I did not see this wave coming In time to wake you up In time, in time to warn you of In time, in time to pull you from it
