Wave Lyrics
I want what I can't have, still holding on to hope
Drowning in my tears, this love's a sinking boat
Oh, oh, this love's a sinking boat
Oh, oh (No)
[Pre-Chorus: Meghan Trainor]
Once my hands have reached the shore
You pull me back in
And I shouldn't beg for more
But I don't want it to end
[Chorus: Meghan Trainor]
Just take me like a wave (Wave, wave, wave)
Oh, take me like a wave, oh (Wave, wave, wave)
Take me like a wave, pull me back and forth
Crash into my arms, tell me I am yours
Take me like a wave, oh, ah (Wave, wave, wave)
[Verse 2: Mike Sabath]
Head at the surface, I'll keep you afloat
I'll keep you safe, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Right in the middle of Heaven and Hell
This world was made for us (Yeah)
Don't blame you at all (Yeah)
It was all my fault (Yeah)
I swear that I won't do the shit that I did before
Was scared to walk away (Yeah)
But I need you back with me (Hey)
And I think it's all the same for you, yeah
I just wanna kiss your neck
'Cause I miss the way you're dancing on me, yeah
Let me pull you back in (Yeah)
Once my hands have reached the shore
You pull me back in
And I shouldn't beg for more
But I don't want it to end
[Chorus: Meghan Trainor with Mike Sabath]
Just take me like a wave (Wave, wave, wave)
Oh, take me like a wave, oh (Wave, wave, wave)
Take me like a wave, pull me back and forth
Crash into my arms, tell me I am yours
Take me like wave, oh, ah (Wave, wave, wave)
[Outro]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

We were in the studio one night working on ‘Wave’ and she asked if I would please do a verse on it. I felt super inspired by her voice and the energy of the people in the studio and was able to one take the verse and then we just filled in the lyric.”
