[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
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
