"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
