I'm drowning in an ocean,
One that use to be blue and smooth,
It's now getting dark and choppy,
And I have everything to lose.
The ocean is consuming me,
Leaving scars on my heart,
I'm being pulled deeper every minuet,
I'd get out now if I were smart.
If I swim I can make it back,
I can still see the light,
But this ocean feels like home,
Everything still feels right.
There's a chance this storm will pass,
And everything will be fine,
But if it doesn't pass soon,
I'll be swept up on the shore line.
Do I stay where I feel at home,
Take a risk and stay in case there's something I can find,
Or heed the warning,
And leave this ocean behind?

I'm drowning in an ocean,
One that use to be blue and smooth,
It's now getting dark and choppy,
And I have everything to lose.
The ocean is consuming me,
Leaving scars on my heart,
I'm being pulled deeper every minuet,
I'd get out now if I were smart.
If I swim I can make it back,
I can still see the light,
But this ocean feels like home,
Everything still feels right.
There's a chance this storm will pass,
And everything will be fine,
But if it doesn't pass soon,
I'll be swept up on the shore line.
Do I stay where I feel at home,
Take a risk and stay in case there's something I can find,
Or heed the warning,
And leave this ocean behind?
A metaphor for my love.
