Oceanic Feeling

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.

It's a blue day

We could jump or leap

When I hit that water

When it holds me

I think about my father

Doin' the same thing

When he was a boy

When he was a boy

It's a blue day

We could go fishing

You'll catch the big one

Slidin' the knife under the skin

Grateful for this offering

And all the livin' things under the Sun

Under the Sun

Little brother, I think you're an angel

I see your silver chain levitate

When you kickflipping

Baby boy, you're super cool

I know you're scared, so was I

But all will be revealed in time (time, time)

Oh, look, the rays are in the bay now

Can you hear the waves and the cicadas all around?

I can make anything real

Brain so hot, it's a summer body

Every day is blue and never cloudy

Don't look down

I can make anything real

In the future

If I have a daughter

Will she have my waist?

Or my widow's peak?

My dreamer's disposition

Or my wicked streak?

Will she split a tab with her lover and laugh at the stars

Like her mother when she was a girl?

When she was a girl

Now the cherry black lipstick's gathering dust in a drawer

I don't need her anymore

'Cause I got this power

I just had to breathe

(Breathe out, breathe out, breathe out)

And tune in

(Tune in, tune in, tune in, tune in)

I just had to breathe

(Breathe out, breathe out, breathe out)

And tune in

(Tune in, tune in, tune in, tune in)

I just had to breathe

And tune in

I just had to breathe

And tune in

I just had to breathe

Oh, was enlightenment found?

No, but I'm tryin', takin' it one year at a time

Oh, oh, can you hear the sound?

It's shimmerin' higher

On the beach I'm buildin' a pyre

(Used the word brought in by the tide)

I know you'll show me how I'll know

When it's time to take off my robe

And step into the choir
