The Wave - Tom Chaplin

Flotsam and Jetsam

Always at the mercy of the ocean

Drawn on the trade winds

Gathered up and swallowed by the motion

High hopes and young dreams

Unrequited love, misplaced devotion

Time will sweep these things away

And I’ll be carried by the wave

Carried by the wave

Carried by the wave

My soul surrendered by the undertow

Driven by the tide

I’m headed for the shore

These lonely, scattered pieces heading home

Caught on the high wire

Quarry for the demons down below

Held in slow motion

Frozen by the thought of letting go

Time will sweep these things away

And I’ll be carried by the wave

Carried by the wave

Carried by the wave

My soul surrendered by the undertow

Driven by the tide

I’m headed for the shore

These lonely, scattered pieces heading home

Like it was before

Joined forever more

These lonely, scattered pieces heading home

Heading home

Heading home
