The Wave

The Wave
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

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 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
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 is blue
I never saw you coming
Sweet salvation in and I never knew
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 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

I was a town closed for [?]
I was a Ferris wheel with the light burnt out
'Til you came along
When you came along
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 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
Yeah, you washed it all away
You were the wave, the wave, the wave
Yeah, that washed it all away
