Wave
Briana Buckmaster Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We could wait until tomorrow
We gotta get through today
If you lead then I will follow
If you think you know the way

There's a problem down at will call
'Cause you weren't on the list
I try to comfort you, that's my fault
I'm a plus one and I'm pissed

And if you think that I can save you
Then I'm throwing you the rope
But I'm up against the wave
Give me something to believe in
'Cause I'm shoring up on hope
And I'm up against a wave

The odds are up against you
The damage has been done
But I really do like our chances
Aw baby I got a hunch

And if you think that I can save you
Then I'm throwing you the rope
But I'm up against the wave
Give me something to believe in
'Cause I'm shoring up on hope
And I'm up against a wave

We could wait until tomorrow
We gotta get through today




If you lead then I will follow
If you think you know the way
