Lyrics and translation

Original

I've been closin' my eyes

Comin' back to life

And I cry when my heart is only broken

Prayin' for dry ground

Though I only want to drown

When I find myself swimmin' in your ocean

I've been pinin' for light

When the moon is full and bright

You can laugh but I take it as a token

Prayin' for dry ground

Though I only want to drown

When I find myself swimmin' in your ocean

First it's where you been, then why you're in the way

Never what you want, but how much can you take

Lonely wave toward the shore

Lonely sparrow singin' for its lonely world

Its lonely world

So I name what I've lost

Whether really lost or not

I keep makin' for a door that isn't open

Prayin' for dry ground

Though I only want to drown

When I find myself swimmin' in your ocean

Ooh

Uh-huh

First it's all you want, then all that you can take

Never who you'll be, but when you're gonna break

Lonely horses runnin' through

Lonely flowers call into their lonely world

Their lonely world

You can die where you stand

Try to land the best you can

You'll wander off any path you might have chosen

If it sounds too severe

Like thunder disappears

We all learn what we will about devotion

When we make for dry ground

Though we really oughta drown

All these leaves keep sinkin' in slow motion

I don't want to be saved

How I wish you felt the same

When I find myself swimmin' in your ocean

When I find myself swimmin' in your ocean

Uh-huh

When I find myself swimmin' in your ocean

Uh-huh
