I've been closing my eyes

Coming back to life

And I cry when my heart is only broken

Praying for dry ground

Though I only want to drown

When I find myself swimming in your ocean

 

I've been pining for light

When the moon is full and bright

You can laugh, but I take it as a token

Praying for dry ground

Though I only want to drown

When I find myself swimming in your ocean

 

First it's where you been, then why you're in the way

Never what you want, but how much you can take

Lonely wave toward the shore

Lonely sparrow singing for its lonely world

Its lonely world

 

So I name what I've lost

Whether really lost or not

And I keep making for a door that isn't open

 

Praying for dry ground

Though I only want to drown

When I find myself swimming in your ocean

Ooh

Uh-huh

 

First it's all you want, then all that you can take

Never who you'll be, but when you're gonna break

Lonely horses running through

Lonely flowers calling to their lonely world

Their lonely world

 

You can die where you stand

Try to land the best you can

You'll wander off any path you might have chosen

 

If it sounds too severe

Like thunder disappears

We all learn what we will about devotion

 

When we make for dry ground

Though we really oughta drown

All these leaves keep sinking in slow motion

I don't wanna be saved

How I wish you felt the same

When I find myself swimming in your ocean

When I find myself swimming in your ocean

Uh-huh
