"Ocean" lyrics

"Ocean"

How can someone stand so damn close
And feel like they're worlds away?
I can see your sad story eyes
So how do you have no words to say?

All I want is to fall in deeper
Than I've ever been
Why won't you let me?
I can handle your heart, so help me

Here you are, next to me
So much beauty at my feet
All I wanna do is swim
But the waves keep crashing in
No, I'm not afraid to drown
Take me out, take me down
I'm so tired of the shore
Let me in, baby
You're an ocean beautiful and blue
I wanna swim in you

Like a lighthouse, I've been shining bright
Through the dark for the both of us
And "I've done it outta love" is not enough
But God, how I wish it was

And I don't wanna find out
How much lonely I can take before you lose me
Baby, look at me and swear you won't lose me

Here you are, next to me
So much beauty at my feet
All I wanna do is swim
But the waves keep crashing in
No, I'm not afraid to drown
Take me out, take me down
I'm so tired of the shore
Let me in, baby
You're an ocean beautiful and blue
I wanna swim in you

I can't let it go
From moments in your arms
But they come back again
The waves, the waves, the waves, the waves
The waves, the waves, the waves, the waves

Here you are, next to me
So much beauty at my feet
All I wanna do is swim
But the waves keep crashing in
No, I'm not afraid to drown
Take me out, take me down
I'm so tired of the shore
Let me in, baby
You're an ocean beautiful and blue
I wanna swim in you

The title track from the album, "Ocean" was released on the 20th of September 2019. This is the third song released from the album. The previous two were "Pictures" and "What If I Never Get Over You".
Hillary Scott said about this song in a press release, "It's such a cinematic and theatrical melody that really tied together our standpoint of this record as a whole. 'Ocean' stands for all of the things that we think and feel when we hear the word. It's parallel with those feelings, much like the songs about barely keeping your head above water and others that make you feel like everything is smooth sailing."
