The Goo Goo Dolls - Ocean Lyrics

The Goo Goo Dolls Lyrics

"Ocean"

You're swimming in my bloodstream
Like a drug
Shaking like I'm freezing
But I'm burning up

Yeah, when I'm with you, I'm like someone new
I don't even know my name
Numbing my emotions
Like Novocaine

So come on, hold me down

It's like swimming in the ocean, pull me to the bottom
Drowning in emotion, yeah
Crashing through the ceiling, chasing down the feeling
Give it to me one more time
I'm still here dancing with your ghost
You got me high through all the lows
I lose my mind, but I don't care, yeah, yeah

Can't give it up
Can't give it up

Diving in the water
You took me down
I woke up at the bottom
And found you gone

I was half dead, stuck inside my head
I was spinning out from the things you said
I was broken
But I'm as big as the ocean

So come on, hold me down
Don't you let me out

It's like swimming in the ocean, pull me to the bottom
Drowning in emotion, yeah
Crashing through the ceiling, chasing down the feeling
Give it to me one more time
I'm still here dancing with your ghost
You got me high through all the lows
I lose my mind, but I don't care, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm as big as the ocean

It's like swimming in the ocean
All the lights are out
Love the way I'm feeling
Never coming down

Love is like the ocean
Can you feel me drown?
Love is like the ocean
Can you feel it now?
Love is like the ocean
Can you feel me drown?
Love is like the ocean
Can you feel it now?
