He had to go higher, he had to go higher When he's riding the wavesThere's a boy that I adore But the boy loves surfing moreSo I watched him from the shore Riding the waves, riding the wavesHe survived when he's riding the wavesEvery time the storm goes by And the waves are mountain highHear him cry, let's go, then bye Riding the waves, riding the wavesBut he survived when he's riding the wavesHe had to go higher, he had to go higherLost in the cold My heart is on fire, my heart is on fireBaby, come on homeSuddenly he's tossed around Then I see him tumbling downFrom the shore I watched him drown Riding the waves, riding the wavesHe survived when he's riding the wavesBut he survived when he's riding the wavesHe had to go higher, he had to go higher Lost in the coldMy heart is on fire, my heart is on fire Baby, come on homeReached his goal Where the waves no longer sfiddleNow I walk along the shoreAnd I hear the oceans roarAnd I know forevermoreHe's riding the waves, riding the wavesHe is mineWhen he's riding the wavesRiding the wavesRiding the wavesThe wild, wild wavesRiding the wavesRiding the waves
