On a Wave
Frans Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

For the long time run
I′ll be riding all the way
On a wave with you

Ah
For the long time run
I'll be riding all the way on a wave with you
And the long time gone

Was a stop in the journey made for two
For the long time run
I′ll be riding all the way on a wave with you
With you, yeah (ah)

For all the things I've lost
I will put it on the shelf in the aisle three
Everything you see
Was always meant for you and me
For the long time run
I'll be riding all the way on a wave with you (with you)
With you

And someone better make you sad
′Cause I have got a real good shoulder
And let′s share a glass of wine
And I will make it fine for you
If someone ever make you sad
Then I am gonna make it better, yeah
This is all I know
Don't mind the bumpy road with you, yeah

For the long time run
I′ll be riding all the way on a wave with you
And the long time gone
Was a stop in the journey made for two
For the long time run
I'll be riding all the way on a wave with you
With you, yeah

All the things I′ve lost
I will put it on the shelf in the aisle three
Everything you see
Was always meant for you and me
For the long time run
I'll be riding all the way on a wave with you
With you

And someone better make you sad
′Cause I have got a real good shoulder
And let's share a glass of wine
And I will make it fine for you
If someone ever make you sad
Then I am gonna make it better, yeah
This is all I know
Don't mind the bumpy road with you, yeah

This all makes sense
Sometimes so tense
Tell me I am
Something better, are we better now?
We make no sense
And I want no end
But tell me I am
Something better, are we better now?

For the long time run
I′ll be riding all the way on a wave with you
And the long time gone
Was a stop in the journey made for two
For the long time run

I′ll be riding all the way on a wave with you (darling, let's go)
With you, yeah
