Ride the Wave – Electric Lantern

Verse

Salt air on my collar, sun stitched to my skin

Board wax and bare shoulders, I already win

Barefoot on the dock wood, warm under my feet

Nobody can touch me, this rhythm's mine to keep

Pre-Chorus

So why would I let go

Of the one thing I finally know

Feel it building, feel it swell

Gonna hold it, hold it well

Chorus

I'm gonna ride the wave, ride the wave

Steady hands, nothing left to save

Chin up high where the horizon bends

This feeling's mine until it ends

I'm gonna ride the wave, ride the wave

Let the whole blue world behave

Cool water breaking clean and bold

I'm riding the wave, I'm keeping the gold

Verse

Palm leaves cutting shadows on the amber ground

Heartbeat like a tide drum, steady with the sound

Every step feels certain, every breath feels wide

I built this from the bottom, now I'm riding the pride

Pre-Chorus

So why would I let go

Of the one thing I finally know

Feel it building, feel it swell

Gonna hold it, hold it well

Chorus

I'm gonna ride the wave, ride the wave

Steady hands, nothing left to save

Chin up high where the horizon bends

This feeling's mine until it ends

I'm gonna ride the wave, ride the wave

Let the whole blue world behave

Cool water breaking clean and bold

I'm riding the wave, I'm keeping the gold

Bridge

Maybe it fades by morning

Maybe the tide pulls back

But right now I'm the current

Right now there's no turning back

I'm not asking permission

I'm not waiting for the shore

This is mine while it's burning

I don't need it anymore than this

Chorus

I'm gonna ride the wave, ride the wave

Steady hands, nothing left to save

Chin up high where the horizon bends

This feeling's mine until it ends

I'm gonna ride the wave, ride the wave

Let the whole blue world behave

Cool water breaking clean and bold

I'm riding the wave, I'm keeping the gold
