Lyrics
WAVE GOODBYE
Step one, find someone to love, give it everything you got
You don't have to try, you don't need to think a lot
You just got to know that you love them
Step two, leave yourself wide open, let them walk all over you
Get back up and wonder, what on earth are you gonna do
But it's alright, you'll find what you're supposed to
Wave goodbye to the dearly departed
Then hang on, step three's started
It's ok to have a broken heart
Here you are, ain't picked up the phone, you ain't crawling back to her
As you recount the cost, memories fade, but they never get lost
You find the price of love was no bargain
She's gone, you're living out a worn cliché
You can't find an original word
So plagiarize the feel of every hard-luck song you've heard
And knock them grooves around, let them heal you
Wave goodbye to the dearly departed
You didn't get to finish what you started
And it's ok to have a broken heart
Wave goodbye, wave goodbye
You've got to turn the tide
It's ok to have a broken heart
