The titl...
[Verse 1]
We got built in waves of doubt
I’m still reflecting on them now
Always pushing us around
The tide can make it hard to get yourself out
[Chorus]
But you’re a speedboat
You’re a speedboat
[Verse 2]
There’s so much body in a sound
Cutting figures just to shadow your mouth
And there’s so many of them now
But you can drown 'em out
[Chorus]
‘Cause you’re a speedboat gliding over them
You’re a wake up calling
You’re a speedboat racing overhead
Every hero, ‘cause you’re my heroine
[Post-Chorus]
Wake me up, wake me up, wake me up
Wake me up, wake me up, wake me up, ahh
Wake me up, wake me up, wake me up
Wake me up, wake me up, wake me up, ahh
[Verse 3]
Now when the ripples trickle down
They wanna carry me to where you are now
Like a voice that echoes out
Give ‘em hell, give ‘em hell, give ‘em hell
[Chorus]
‘Cause you’re a speedboat gliding over them
You’re a wake up calling
You’re a speedboat racing overhead
Every hero, ‘cause you’re my heroine
[Post-Chorus]
Wake me up, wake me up, wake me up
You’re my heroine
Wake me up, wake me up, wake me up
You’re my heroine
Wake me up, wake me up, wake me up
You’re a champion
Give ‘em hell, give ‘em hell, give ‘em hell
[Bridge]
Now you’re deep in the ride
They call your name like an umpire
But don’t you ever go quiet
‘Cause you’re the sound of a new stride
You’re a speedboat
You’re a speedboat
[Chorus]
‘Cause you’re a speedboat gliding over them
You’re a wake up calling
You’re a speedboat racing overhead
Every hero, ‘cause you’re my heroine
[Chorus]
You’re a speedboat gliding over them
Wake me up, wake me up, wake me up
You’re a speedboat racing overhead
Give ‘em hell, give ‘em hell, give ‘em hell
