The Wave

Lyrics

[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
