I needed someone to depend upon

I was alone, I was emotional

Searching for the right emoticon

To expand my mental lexicon

And Gemma told me that she met someone

It was the person I'd been counting on

It felt good, it felt transitional

A feeling I'd been waiting on

You were floating like a lilo

With your eyes closed, going where the tide goes

Caught in flux, you drifted 'til you hit the sides

Hold my breath another minute

I can keep my head, there's nothing in it

I'm a patient wave

And it's an easy ride

I saw myself an intellectual

I thought that I was capable

Every move was just habitual

And life was just a ritual

And Gemma told me that she met somebody

Nobody else could take me from myself

I wasn't searching for it anymore

The feeling I'd been waiting for

You were floating like a lilo

With your eyes closed, going where the tide goes

Caught in flux, you drifted 'til you hit the sides

Hold my breath another minute

I can keep my head, there's nothing in it

I'm a patient wave (I'm a patient wave)

And it's an easy ride

Floating like a lilo with your

Going where the tide goes

Floating like a lilo with your

Going where the tide goes

(Floating like a)

(Floating like a)

(Floating like a)

(Floating like a)

You were floating like a lilo

With your eyes closed, going where the tide goes

Caught in flux, you drifted 'til you hit the sides

Hold my breath another minute

I can keep my head, there's nothing in it

I'm a patient wave (I'm a patient wave)

And it's an easy ride
