"In Your Ocean" lyrics
"In Your Ocean"
I've been closing my eyes
Coming back to life
And I cry when my heart is only broken
Praying for dry ground
Though I only want to drown
When I find myself swimming in your ocean
I've been pining for light
When the moon is full and bright
You can laugh, but I take it as a token
Praying for dry ground
Though I only want to drown
When I find myself swimming in your ocean
First it's where you been, then why you're in the way
Never what you want, but how much you can take
Lonely wave toward the shore
Lonely sparrow singing for its lonely world
Its lonely world
So I name what I've lost
Whether really lost or not
And I keep making for a door that isn't open
Praying for dry ground
Though I only want to drown
When I find myself swimming in your ocean
Ooh
Uh-huh
First it's all you want, then all that you can take
Never who you'll be, but when you're gonna break
Lonely horses running through
Lonely flowers calling to their lonely world
Their lonely world
You can die where you stand
Try to land the best you can
You'll wander off any path you might have chosen
If it sounds too severe
Like thunder disappears
We all learn what we will about devotion
When we make for dry ground
Though we really oughta drown
All these leaves keep sinking in slow motion
I don't wanna be saved
How I wish you felt the same
When I find myself swimming in your ocean
When I find myself swimming in your ocean
Uh-huh

When nobody's watching
We might take it home
We might make out when nobody's there
It's not that we're scared
It's just that it's delicate

She had a voice of last year's cough
We passed around the phone
Sharing a word about Oregon

I was ashamed

Bright Eyes - "We Are Nowhere And It's Now" If you hate the taste of wine
Why do you drink it 'til you're blind?
And if you swear that there's no truth and who cares
How come you say it like you're right?
Why are you scared to dream of god...
Langhorne Slim & Jill Andrews - "Sea Of Love" I saw you there, that's when I knew
That I was born to be with you
When good love shines, I feel it, too
Take me with you, take me with you
So, I build a boat to sail
I swear I'll never fail you
