If all the world could take a moment

To cradle back into slow motion 'cos it's all moving too fast

You had your shot you took your chances

All through you'd battle for the answers you were brave 'til the very last



Just like a wave on the ocean

There's forces that run so deep

I'm falling into the temptation

To let it wash all over me

Come and wash me clea-ea ea- ea- ean

Come and wash me clean a nervous step into the future

While the present shatters all around you

it's all moving too fast

And now the footprints of your failures

Seep into the safety of the harbour

leave it all in a dark past



Just like a wave on the ocean

There's forces that run so deep

I'm falling into the temptation

To let it wash all over me

Come and wash me clea-ea ea- ea- ean

Come and wash me clean

Come and wash me clean
