I saw it coming
I saw it coming way too late
way too late
and befre I knew what to do
I was thrown and bruising

like a wave
like a wave
like a wave breaking over me
like a wave
like a wave
like a wave breaking over me
breaking over me.

but hold my hands over my eyes
and pray I'd make it through
make it through this one alive
and I would survive

like a wave
like a wave
like a wave breaking over me
breaking over me
and I was
I wash away
as you recede.
