Lyrics

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.

The ocean is incredible deep, from what I'm told

It's an endless body and my heart runs cold

I'm standing still, I'm standing

Somewhere in the back of my mind comes a thought

Like the flash of a camera your parents bought

I'm standing still, I'm standing still

So we are alone

And we are together for just this once

I'll go on pretending I don't care

But I'm asking you nicely to stand here beside me

Yeah

I had a little too much to drink

Yeah

It goes down a little faster than I think

Everybody circles the sun on New Years Eve

Like the great parade that you just cant leave

We're standing still, we're standing still

Somehow in a crowded room I saw your face

Like an old toy soldier glued in place

We're standing still, we're standing still, we're standing still

So we are alone

And we are together for just this once

I'll go on pretending I don't care

But I'm asking you nicely to stand here beside me

Yeah

I had a little too much to drink

Yeah

It goes down a little faster than I think

Is it really gonna be okay?

Is it really gonna be okay?

Is it really gonna be okay?

I'm standing still, I'm standing still

I'm standing still, I'm standing still

So we are alone

And we are together for just this once

I'll go on pretending I don't care

But of course I do

So we are alone

And we are together for just this once

I'll go on pretending I don't care

But I'm asking you nicely to stand here beside me

Yeah

I had a little too much to drink

Yeah

It goes down a little faster than I think

Is it really gonna be okay?

Is it really gonna be okay?

Is it really gonna be okay?

I'm standing still, I'm standing still

I'm standing still, I'm standing
