| 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 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| Yeah, you washed it all away
|
| You were the wave, the wave, the wave
|
| Yeah, that washed it all away |
