They told me I had to go to college, Get a job, Start a family. But I wanted to be the ocean when I grew up. Or even just a wave. And again they told me to be realistic. But if I cant be the ocean, then why am I seventy-five percent liquid, And why do I leak salt water when I am sad?

Salt
They told me I had to go to college, Get a job, Start a family. But I wanted to be the ocean when I grew up. Or even just a wave. And again they told me to be realistic. But if I cant be the ocean, then why am I seventy-five percent liquid, And why do I leak salt water when I am sad?
