Once I was on my nice motorized boat
And I went too fast, and I fell off, oh
Hope there's nothing dangerous in the water, yeah
My eyes only saw the boat going away
Need to get it back, to still have a fun day
Of going along in my nice boat, but instead I say

Come back to me wayward boat
I just hope we both stay afloat
I swim over to you now
Don't go away no more

I have to swim fast to catch up with it now
As through the water it really quickly plows
It could soon really be a danger, to everyone around too
On a stormy sea it's moving along fast
This ship on the ocean just killed some sea bass
The winds aren't helping me any now, and my boat can't hear me say

Come back to me wayward boat
I just hope we both stay afloat
I swim over to you now
Don't go away no more

Come back to me, I finally caught up
Come back to me, I slipped off, this is rough
Finally got back on again
And controlled it, back in charge

Yeah, I caught my wayward boat
And we both somehow stayed afloat
Next time I will stay in there
Won't go away no more
