[Verse 1]
At the edge of the Atlantic
I can't bring myself to swim
I choked back the tears for twenty-two years

There's a race to be won for the life of his son
But someone has to lose
[Chorus]
Lost in the waves
He was lost in the waves
Saltwater burns, the tide always turns
When you're lost in the waves
[Verse 3]

Now knee-deep in the water
I feel my father's touch
And though fully grown, I've still never known
How to love someone that much
[Chorus]
Lost in the waves
I am lost in the waves
No one but me and the silent black sea
I am lost in the waves
I am lost in the waves
I am lost in the waves
