Said there's an ocean and I'm in the way
I'd like to go soon we'll shine through the lake
I need to feel it, you don't need a thing
Got tons to feel, what else should I bring
Ma ma ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma
Ma ma ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma
Said there's a panic that I can't describe
I need that something I see in your eye
Just wanna lay down when I cannot deal
Pick me back up, give me something to feel
Ma ma ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma
Ma ma ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma
I've been out lookin' for somewhere to hide
There's been a mix up somewhere deep inside
I feel the ocean inside of your heart
Just takes a doubt to come smash it apart
Come on down, got some work to do while I'm around
Come on down, got some work to do while I'm around
Come on down, come on down
Said there's an ocean inside of my mind
It's all so murky, the truth's hard to find
When the time gets here, you'll vouch you in
It'd be a shame to start over again
Ma ma ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma
Ma ma ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma
