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
