i-i-i-i
i-i-i
if the wind could bring the rain
i would save it all for you
make an ocean to sail away
and begin again
you said i could never change
that i can't belong to you
and i watched you slip away
and the ocean's ours
i will never get you back
it's like falling down a wave
falling down a wave
i will never get you back
it's like falling down a wave
falling down a wave
if a star could light the way
that could take me back to you
and the rain could wash away
everything i've done
only mellody remains
so i sing my song to you
as i watched you slip away
and the ocean's ours
i will never get you back
it's like falling down a wave
falling down a wave
i will never get you back
it's like falling down a wave
falling down a wave
falling down a wave (falling down a wave)
i will neverget you back
like falling down a wave (like falling down a wave)
i will never get you back
i will never get you back
it's like falling down a wave
falling down a wave
i will never get you back
like falling down a wave
falling down a...
i will never get you back
it's like falling down a wave
falling down a wave
i will never get you back
it's like falling down a wave
falling down a wave
i will never get you back
i will never get you back
i will never get you back
i will never get you back
i-i-i
i would save it all for you
make an ocean to sail away
and begin again
that i can't belong to you
and i watched you slip away
and the ocean's ours
it's like falling down a wave
falling down a wave
i will never get you back
it's like falling down a wave
falling down a wave
that could take me back to you
and the rain could wash away
everything i've done
so i sing my song to you
as i watched you slip away
and the ocean's ours
it's like falling down a wave
falling down a wave
i will never get you back
it's like falling down a wave
falling down a wave
i will neverget you back
like falling down a wave (like falling down a wave)
i will never get you back
it's like falling down a wave
falling down a wave
i will never get you back
like falling down a wave
falling down a...
it's like falling down a wave
falling down a wave
i will never get you back
it's like falling down a wave
falling down a wave
i will never get you back
i will never get you back

This song just shows how brilliant a song writer Scooter Ward is.
The song is entirely metaphorical.
Imagine someone falling down in a wave and getting dragged away into the ocean. Or someone slipping away from your life and you remain helpless to keep them.
The first verse explains that he would give anything to oversee the regrets in the relationship, and get the girl back.
It's a song about losing someone you love and being helpless to stop it happening, and how if given a second chance he would do things over again.
brilliant song.
I totally agree.
I totally agree.
This song might mean losing someone and expressing the futility of wanting them back, whether it be death or breaking up:
"I Will Never Get You Back, It's Like Falling Down A Wave."
I myself made a huge mistake in splitting up with my partner, and I never thought she's forgive me when I wanted her back, so I left it. I heard this song and it spoke to me so well. We're back together now, so this song is very close to my heart.
Awsome song one of my favorite songs on this album.
Oh yah its not oceans our's its oceans arms
this song is my life. really. its the story of my life. its about loosing someone or loosing a feeling. when you fall down a wave its hard to get back up. and thats what:
i will never get you back it's like falling down a wave
means. this is the saddest song ever. but its also my favorite. it means the world to me.
"OCEAN" refers to waves come and go and none of them are the same...there is no person in the world that can be the same as someone else. Once the waves crash down that's it! Once it's over it's over!
Ever heard the phrase "theres plenty more fish in the sea"?
I like to think he means his "fish" has slipped back into the ocean.
Also i think the lines
"and i watched you slip away and the ocean's ours"
is actually
"there i watched you slip away into the oceans arms"
This song and a different kind of pain got me through a rough situation with a girl XD, put me back on my feet ^^.
