Wave Lyrics by Beth Orton

Kidsticks

2016

[Verse 1]
If I were a wave, you’d have caught me
If you were my light, I would fade
If you were the sea, you’d not turn your back on me
I’d shake the fury right on out from me

[Chorus]
I was crying out for you before I ever knew
Crying out to you, breathe me in
I was crying out for you before I ever knew
Calling out to you, breathe me in

[Verse 2]
If I am wave, come and catch me
If I am all wrong, make me right
When I am a sound, I am twisting out loud
Shake that fury right on out to see

[Chorus]
I was crying out for you before I ever knew
Crying out to you, breathe me in
I was crying out for you before I ever knew
Calling out to you, breathe me in

[Outro]
All in all, what the sea forgets
All in all, what the sea forgets
All in all, remember not to forget
To shake the fury right out off of me
All in all, let the sea forget
All in all, let the sea forget
All in all, remember not to forget
To shake the fury right out off of me
That you and I were always going to be
