"Ocean Eyes" lyrics

"Ocean Eyes"

I've been watching you for some time
Can't stop staring at those ocean eyes
Burning cities and napalm skies
Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes
Your ocean eyes

No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you give me those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes

I've been walking through a world gone blind
Can't stop thinking of your diamond mind
Careful creature made friends with time
He left her lonely with a diamond mind
And those ocean eyes

No fair (No fair)
You really know how to make me cry
When you give me those ocean eyes (Those ocean eyes)
I'm scared (I'm scared)
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes

[Backwards:]
Those ocean eyes
Falling into your ocean eyes
I've never fallen from quite this high
I'm scared
When you give me those ocean eyes
You really know how to make me cry
No fair

Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da
Mm
Mm

No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you give me those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes

This song was written and produced by Billie Eilish's brother Finneas O'Connell. She recorded it when she was 14 years old and released on the 18th of November 2016.
Billie Eilish recalled his brother's song's story to Vogue, "He'd been doing it with his band before, but of course I'd heard it because I was right next door. I sang it, and we both loved it. It's just a beautiful song, and Finneas is an amazing writer. I loved it and I couldn't get it out of my head for weeks."
The performer said about how this song went viral although it was originally intended to be a song for a dance, "We put it on SoundCloud with a free download link next to it so my dance teacher could access it. We had no intentions for it, really. But basically overnight a ton of people started hearing it and sharing it. Hillydilly, a music discovery website, found it and posted it, and it just got bigger and bigger. It was really surreal."
A music video for the song was directed by Megan Thompson and was released on the 24th of March 2016.
