"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, I couldn't find heaven
I didn't know how, but I was broken
I was a castaway with no end
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 sudden, thanks to you
My favorite color's blue
I never saw you coming
A 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, I couldn't find heaven
I didn't know how, but I was broken
I was a castaway with no end
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 good
I was a Ferris wheel with the lights burned out
'Till 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, I couldn't find heaven
I didn't know how, but I was broken
I was a castaway with no end
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, you washed it all away
