Saved is a song written by Lennon Stella, Marylynne Stella, and Matt McVaney and performed by Maddie Conrad in the Season Five episode Back in the Saddle Again.
Initially she does not like the way it sounds before Juliette Barnes sings it with a keyboard in front of Avery and tries to convince her how it would sound better if they go with her version.
She gets Clay to listen to both versions (he prefers Juliette's) and after Maddie listens to both versions again she realizes that Juliette's version sounds better so decides to record it.
In the episode (Now and Then There's) A Fool Such as I Daphne phones Maddie while the latter is with Clay to say that it is being played on the radio.
She sings it repeatedly while shooting a mascara commercial in the episode Farther On.
She performs it onstage at the American Music Awards after the song is nominated but loses out on the award to Katy Perry.
It is included on the deluxe version of The Music of Nashville (Season 5, Volume 2).
Lyrics[]
I'm out here alone in trailing water
The clear air tells me there's a storm coming
Not afraid of the dark cloud, gonna wait it out
Got me racing my heart now and I'm fading out
I'm waiting to be
Saved by a tidal wave
Take me away
Saved by a tidal wave
Take me away, t-t-take me away
I'm caught up in the current
Knowing that I'm certain to be saved
Knowing that I'm certain to be saved
Knowing that I'm certain
I'm out here like a message in a bottle
Can't breathe, I'm sinking down the rock bottom
Not afraid of the dark cloud, gonna wait it out
Got me racing my heart now and I'm fading out
I'm waiting to be saved by a tidal wave
Take me away
Saved by a tidal wave
Take me away, t-t-take me away
I'm caught up in the current
Knowing that I'm certain to be saved
Knowing that I'm certain to be saved
Knowing that I'm certain
I'm losing hope
When will you find me?
When will you show up?
When will you show up?
When will you show?
I need to know that I'll be
Saved by a tidal wave
Take me away, t-t-take me away
I'm caught up in the current
Knowing that I'm certain to be saved
Knowing that I'm certain to be saved
Knowing that I'm certain to be saved
