Текст песни The Waves - Bastille

Staring down the barrel of a hundred tons (We're ridin' the wave)
It might be getting older, but the night's still young (We're ridin' the wave)
We never, never give up on a lost boy life (We're ridin' the wave)
So here we are, escaping from the world outside (We're ridin' the wave)

Oh, what would your mother say if she could see what we're doing now?
Oh, what would you 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 (Hey!)
Get carried, get carried away
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Caught up in, caught up in the waves (We're ridin' the wave)

Suddenly we're falling through the twilight zone (We're ridin' the wave)
Watch the party playing out in slow motion (We're ridin' the wave)
So tie a ribbon 'round my arm and throw me in (We're ridin' the wave)
Is it an apocalypse or nihilism on your lips? We sink or swim (We're ridin' the wave)

Oh, what would your mother say if she could see what we're doing now?
Oh, what would you 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 me
I'll see you on the other side (Hey!)
Get carried, get carried away
Caught up, caught up in the waves (We're ridin' the wave)

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 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 (Hey!)
Get carried, get carried away (away-ay-ay-ay-ay)
Caught up, caught up in the waves (wa-wa-wa-wa-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 side (We're ridin' the wave)
