Wave

Beth Orton

If I were a wave
You’d have caught me
If you were my light
I would fade
If you were the sea
You’d not turn your back on me
I’d shake the fury
Right out off of me

I was crying out for you
Before I ever knew
Crying out to you
Breathe me in

I was crying out for you
Before I ever knew
Calling out to you
Breathe me in

If I am wave
Come and catch me
If I am all wrong
Make me right

When I am a sound
I am twisting out loud
Shake that fury
Right on out to see

I was crying out for you
Before I ever knew
Crying out to you
Breathe me in

I was crying out for you
Before I ever knew
Calling out to you
Breathe me in

And all in all
What the sea forgets
And all in all
What the sea forgets
All in all remember not to forget
To shake the fury right out off of me
And all in all
Let the sea forget
And all in all
Let the sea forget
All in all remember not to forget
To shake the fury right out off of me
That you and I were always going to be
