On The Ocean
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Verse:
Am I asleep?
Is this a dream?
Oh my God, what have I done?
Anything?
Verse:
At twenty-three,
You walked out on me.
Oh my God, where have you gone?
Anyway?
Chorus:
On the ocean,
I think I'm taking on water.
The storm is on the way,
But I will hold on anyway.
Verse:
Ten thousand leagues,
under the sea,
Oh my God, what have you done?
Anything?
Bridge:
Twenty nine years,
I've wondered around,
There's no beauty here,
No emerald town,
I shall all?, what will be forgotten?
Everything?
Chorus:
On the ocean,
I think I'm taking on water.
The storm is on the way,
But I will hold on anyway.
Bridge:
I close my eyes and there's someone beside me.
Hand in hand we can only speak in tongues.
She's pulling me along.
Follow'n down, a trail of crumbs behind me,
My head's in her hands,
But everything, it still feels wrong.
This isn't what I thought,
So can I just go home?
Verse:
Am I asleep?
Is this a dream?
Oh my God, what have I done?
Anything?
(ROUND)
On the ocean,
Ten thousand leagues,
I think I'm taking on water,
Under the sea,
The storm is on the way,
Oh my God, what have you done?
But I will be? you? anyway.
Anything?
On the ocean . . .
