>We, and everything else, are stuff floating in the sea of spacetime. Just as a ship would bob up and down as an ocean wave passed along but is not itself part of the wave, so too are we affected by gravitational waves as the pass through spacetime. Exactly it's called Frame-dragging[0]: "Frame-dragging is an effect on spacetime, predicted by Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, that is due to non-static stationary distributions of mass–energy. A stationary field is one that is in a steady state, but the masses causing that field may be non-static -rotating, for instance."
