Verse 1:

Verse 2:
   I was feeling like a creep as I watched you asleep
  Face down in the park in the grass in the middle of the hot afternoon
  Your top was untied and I though how nice
  It'd be to follow the sweat down your spine

BRIDGE:
                                    Caught by a wave my back to the ocean
                                     It knocks me off my feet and
                                     Once I find my footing
                                     There you come again
