The Wave Lyrics

I even see it when my eyes are closed
The television screaming everything must go.
I dreamt it's coming and I saw the wave
I dreamt that everything we built was swept away.

And all of England made of sand.
And it all got swept away, all the idiots.
They were underneath the wave, underneath it all.
And it all got swept away,
And it all got swept away, underneath the wave.


All the bottles that the beach washed up
I dreamt of plastic and of coloured paper cups
Felt as hollow as an empty can
I want to wake up but I just don't think I can.

My heart is full enough.
And it all got swept away, all the innocents.
They were underneath the wave, underneath it all.
And it all got swept away,
And it all got swept away, underneath the wave.

You and I just holding hands
As the wave took back the land
Hold me closer now and don't let go
Cause everything must go.

And it all got swept away, all the innocents.
They were underneath the wave, underneath it all.
And it all got swept away,
And it all got swept away,
And it all got swept away, underneath the wave.
