Waiting for the Wave to Break

If you're waiting for the wave to break

If you think a stroke of luck is all that it takes

If think you're all that, well you're no great shakes

Waiting for the wave to break

If you give up everything you love

But still you find it isn't enough

If you've tried to be stubborn and tried to be tough

Waiting for the wave to break

If you really want to make a living

Then maybe it's time to give in

To the love that surrounds you

It's already around you

Well you're ready and willing and able

And somehow you find there's still no seat at the table

Do you want to become one more cautionary fable

Waiting for the wave to break

If you really think you're out of luck

If you've got a half-empty cup

If you've come to the conclusion that your number's up

Waiting for the wave to break

If you really want to make a living

Then maybe it's time to give in

To the love that surrounds you

Yeah it's already around you

Would you rescue me

Cos I'm all at sea

And I'm losing sight of you

Cos I knew before

Now I'm on the floor

Cos I can't be sure of you

If you're waiting for the wave to break

Then you're making a big mistake

And the ocean you're surfing is barely a lake

Waiting for the wave to break

Waiting for the wave to break

Standing on the sidelines waiting for the waves to break

Holding on the handrails waiting for the waves to break

Sleeping on the seafront waiting for the waves to break

On your raft with wilson waiting for the waves to break
