About This Track

‘The Wave’ by Colouring is an alternative track from the EP ‘Heathen - EP’ (2017). The lyrics are a pleading, romantic entreaty, repeating calls to stay close, not hide, and not leave someone alone. The narrator frames a mutual spark through “caught the wave” imagery, then pivots to a determined promise to keep faith, even after pushing things to the limit. The final lines continue the insistence on not letting go, before the excerpt cuts off mid-thought.

"The Wave" is a track by Colouring, from the album Heathen - EP, released 2017. The track is 4:18 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about Colouring.

Lyrics

The Wave

Don't run
Don't leave me alone
Don't hide
Don't hide away, love

Cause I just caught the wave
I just caught the wave in your eyes
I just caught the wave
I just caught the wave and it's alright

I know we pushed it all to the limit
And I know I won't give you up for a minute
If it's alright, if it's alright
Maybe we just got lost in the madness
Can we let go and forgive everything and make it alright?
And it's alright

Your hands
Your hands feel cold
And your heart
Is your heart still holding on?

Cause I just caught the wave
I just caught the wave in your eyes
I just caught the wave
I just found the wave and it's alright

I know we pushed it all to the limit
And I know I won't give you up for a minute
If it's alright, if it's alright
Maybe we just got lost in the madness
Can we let go and forgive everything and make it alright?
And it's alright

Streetlights glow now
So let's find a way home
Streetlights glow now
And it's alright, and it's alright
And it's alright (It's alright)

I just caught the wave
I just caught the wave in your eyes
I just caught the wave
I just caught the wave
And I just caught the wave
