The Wave

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I even see you when my eyes are closed

The television screen when everything must go

I dreamt this coming when I saw the wave

I dreamt that everything we built was swept away

And all of England made the sound

And it all got swept away

And all the idiots say (And it all got swept away)

And it's underneath the wave (And it all got swept away)

And it all got swept away

And it all got swept away (3x)

Underneath the wave

And all the bottles at the beach washed out

I dreamt of plastic ones of colored painted cups

And felt as hollow as an empty can

I wanna wake up, but I just don't think I can

And, oh, my heart is filling up

And it all got swept away

And all the innocence (All got swept away)

Underneath the wave (And it all got swept away)

And it's underneath the wave

And it all got swept away

And it all got swept away (3x)

Underneath the wave

You and I just holding hands

As the wave takes back the land

Hold me closer and I will wait

Don't let go

Cause everything must go

And it all got swept away

And all the idiots say (And it all got swept away)

And it's underneath the wave (and it all got swept away)

And it all got swept away

And it all got swept away (3x)

And it's underneath the wave
