i wrote your name in the sand
pebbles embedding themselves in my feet
the water comes to eat it away
oh, this is how the ocean loves
the foam lapped at my paint chipped toes
buried like shells in the sand
washing away all my tears
oh, this is how the ocean loves
my footprints sank into wet sand
rocks drawing pinpricks of blood
leaving behind all my regret
oh, this is how the ocean loves
i dove into the waves
turning my head to the downpour
keeping my head above water
oh, this is how the ocean loves
i watched the sun
i watched the moon
glistening on star-kissed waters
oh, this is how the ocean loves
