I want to be loved like the sea,
When I'm a tropical blue, and respected
For my tumultuous depths.
Love me like the sea.
Come, bathe in me when I am warm and
Gaze down into me when I am crystal.
Love me still when I am murky.
Come, find beauty in my roaring waves and
Keep your bow forward when I am stormy.
Love me like the sea.
Watch, see how I can kiss the shore or
See how I can beat my fist against it.
Yes, I want to be loved like the sea.
For the sun shines on my surface,
Yet darkness lurks within.

I want to be loved like the sea,
When I'm a tropical blue, and respected
For my tumultuous depths.
Love me like the sea.
Come, bathe in me when I am warm and
Gaze down into me when I am crystal.
Love me still when I am murky.
Come, find beauty in my roaring waves and
Keep your bow forward when I am stormy.
Love me like the sea.
Watch, see how I can kiss the shore or
See how I can beat my fist against it.
Yes, I want to be loved like the sea.
For the sun shines on my surface,
Yet darkness lurks within.
