Bastille - The Waves

Written by：Dan Smith

Staring down the barrel of a hundred tons

We're on the way

It might be getting older but the night's still young

We're on the way

We never never give up on the lost boy life

We're on the way

So here we are escaping from the world outside

We're on the way

Oh what would your mother say if she could see what we're doing now

Oh what would your mother say if she could hear what we talk about

The waves are crashing down on you and me again again again

The waves are crashing down on you and me

I'll see you on the other side

Get carried get carried away oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Caught up in caught up in the waves

Suddenly we're fallin' through the twilight zone

We're on the way

Watch the party playing out in slow motion

We're on the way

So tie a ribbon 'round my arm and throw me in

We're on the way

Is it an apocalypse or nihilism on your lips We sink or swim

We're on the way

Oh what would your mother say if she could see what we're doing now

Oh what would your mother say if she could hear what we talk about Hey

The waves are crashing down on you and me again again again

The waves are crashing down on you and me

I'll see you on the other side

Get carried get carried away oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Caught up in caught up in the waves

The air hit me on the way out

Did it make me more sober or make me more drunk

I couldn't quite remember the vision of you and of me

The air hit me on the way out

Did it make me more sober or make me more drunk

I couldn't quite remember the vision of you and of me

The waves are crashing down on you and me again again again

The waves are crashing down on you and me

I'll see you on the other side

Get carried get carried away oh-oh-oh-oh

Caught up in caught up in the waves

They're crashing down they're crashing down oh

They're crashing down on you and me

I'll see you on the other sid
