One More Wave

[Intro: waves and distant percussion] [MARÉ] Last song? [Group] Last song! [MARÉ] You’re all lying. [Beat Drop] [Verse 1] Chairs folded up, cooler nearly dry Someone killed the lantern, said it’s time to say goodbye Then a new song floated from a car along the road Everybody dropped their bags and let the rhythm take control Shoes back off, towels back down One friend already turned the whole car around We said we’d leave before the moon got high Now the moon’s going down on the opposite side [Pre-Chorus] We can leave in five We have said it all night But the water keeps calling And the rhythm feels right [Chorus] One more wave Then we’re going home One more dance Then we leave it alone One more wave Let it carry us away We can worry about tomorrow After one more wave One more wave Everybody say “This is really the last one” Like we mean it anyway [Post-Chorus] One more One more One more wave Uno más Uno más Then we walk away [Verse 2] Taxi came twice, but we missed both calls Driver saw us dancing and gave up on us all Someone found a speaker with a little more charge Now the smallest beach party got unnecessarily large A family out walking started clapping in time A man with a fishing pole requested track nine Even the lifeguard came to tell us to stop Then stayed for the chorus when the bassline dropped [Pre-Chorus] We can leave in five We have said it all night But the water keeps calling And the rhythm feels right [Chorus] One more wave Then we’re going home One more dance Then we leave it alone One more wave Let it carry us away We can worry about tomorrow After one more wave One more wave Everybody say “This is really the last one” Like we mean it anyway [Percussion Break: rolling drums imitate approaching waves] [Call and Response] [MARÉ] Are we leaving? [Group] Not yet! [MARÉ] Are we tired? [Group] Not yet! [MARÉ] One more wave? [Group] One more wave! [Dance Break] [Rhythmic Verse] Wave comes in Feet move back Wave goes out Follow that Hands go high Drums go low When the next one reaches us We really have to go [Wave crashes] [MARÉ] Okay, the next one. Bass comes in Plans fall through Sun comes up What did we do? Everyone laughs Nobody’s saved We’re still making promises To one more wave [Bridge: smooth sunrise vocals] Sky turning violet Then orange around the blue Morning found us dancing Like we knew it always would Maybe leaving early Was a promise made too late So give us one last minute And one more little wave [Final Chorus] One more wave Then we’re going home One more dance Then we leave it alone One more wave Let it carry us away We can finally face tomorrow After one more wave One more wave Everybody say “This is really the last one” And we almost mean it today [Final Post-Chorus] One more One more One more wave Uno más Uno más Then we walk away [Outro: car doors close] [MARÉ] Everybody ready? [Group] Wait—the speaker! [MARÉ] I’ll get it. [Beat quietly starts again]
