Lyrics

Wave

[Verse 1]

If I were a wave, you’d have caught me

If you were my light, I would fade

If you were the sea, you’d not turn your back on me

I’d shake the fury right on out from me

[Chorus]

I was crying out for you before I ever knew

Crying out to you, breathe me in

I was crying out for you before I ever knew

Calling out to you, breathe me in

[Verse 2]

If I am wave, come and catch me

If I am all wrong, make me right

When I am a sound, I am twisting out loud

Shake that fury right on out to see

[Chorus]

I was crying out for you before I ever knew

Crying out to you, breathe me in

I was crying out for you before I ever knew

Calling out to you, breathe me in

[Outro]

All in all, what the sea forgets

All in all, what the sea forgets

All in all, remember not to forget

To shake the fury right out off of me

All in all, let the sea forget

All in all, let the sea forget

All in all, remember not to forget

To shake the fury right out off of me

That you and I were always going to be
