The Wave

[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 beating loud and out of rhythm

As you drowned out all the dark

[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 a 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

[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 was blue

I never saw you coming

Sweet salvation and I never knew

[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 a 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 lights burned 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 a 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

[Outro]

Yeah, you washed it all away

You were the wave, the wave, the wave

Yeah, that washed it all away
