The ocean's waves are pretty grand,
hid all my tears beneath the sand.
You'll probably ask what's in my hand,
the recognition of my names brand.

They don't even know what's in my brain,
the crazy people call me insane.
Not much of flavour cause I act plain,
my words will stick to you just like a stain.

I bought a few words to write an ocean song,
I swim in them just to move along.
At the ocean's center I see no dawn,
the sunrises are out too far.

My heart used to be cement,
I could easily drown inside my own regret.
But I'm so glad that you and I met,
the ocean drowns, but we'll ride it together my dear friend.



It's not the choice I made,
heart beats so fast I swim in sweat.
But that's okay cause I rather swim in that than my own regret.
And it's just you and I,
Across this ocean's eye,
I'm not so lonely in these waters with you right by my side.

And though my soul may float,
We both sank down our boat,
I just pray to God I don't die with all the salt waters swimming right down my throat.

And I don't give that much, but I told you the most,
We'll cry together in center till we hear a crossing boat.

We'll sing an ocean song,
Get drunk on some old Pirate ***.
I'm not that clever but I'm not dying young, that they see me dumb.

This is our ocean song.
Get drunk on some more of ***.
We're lost together
And it's a treasure,
While I'll enjoy this song.
