The Ocean

That boat
When I float, it's the last in its class
I'm the first one to know
That bay
It's never made, I'm the last of my kind
Fucking tricked by my training
Oh, oh, no
I-I give it to the ocean, the ocean, the ocean
I hope
You don't choke on that last passive word
That you keep in your throat
It's so cool
To be you, we're all walking around
Like a kid out of school
I -I give it to the ocean, the ocean, the ocean
I -I give it to the ocean, the ocean, the ocean
There's a ghost
And it knows
What I know
So I let go
It’s a ghost
It’s a ghost
I-I give it to the ocean, the ocean, the ocean
I-I give it to the ocean, the ocean, the ocean
I-I give it to the ocean, the ocean, the ocean
I-I give it to the ocean, the ocean, the ocean
