The Ocean
Left out to dry on the sand
But I'm not scared I'm relaxed
The hot sun caresses me
And nearly undresses me
The sounds of waves they
Bring me a sense of safety
I can feel they want to take me
And I want to know where they lead
So I will wait here on the shore
Just a few hours more
Until the tide rushes in
I'm ready to swim
Let the cool breeze calm my nerves
Build the waves big enough to surf
I'm not coming out of my shell
Until I feel the world is well
Keep my thoughts to myself
No I don't need any help
I just wanna get lost in the ocean
Where I can go a bit unnoticed
For a while
Once my feelings are submerged
Then I will re-emerge
With a smile
So please ignore
That I'm on this ocean floor
Drowning in my pain
By the time you wake tomorrow
I will be clean of all my sorrow
Joy will come to the surface again
The sea
Will take care of me
So just let me be
Free
But I'm not scared I'm relaxed
The hot sun caresses me
And nearly undresses me
The sounds of waves they
Bring me a sense of safety
I can feel they want to take me
And I want to know where they lead
So I will wait here on the shore
Just a few hours more
Until the tide rushes in
I'm ready to swim
Let the cool breeze calm my nerves
Build the waves big enough to surf
I'm not coming out of my shell
Until I feel the world is well
Keep my thoughts to myself
No I don't need any help
I just wanna get lost in the ocean
Where I can go a bit unnoticed
For a while
Once my feelings are submerged
Then I will re-emerge
With a smile
So please ignore
That I'm on this ocean floor
Drowning in my pain
By the time you wake tomorrow
I will be clean of all my sorrow
Joy will come to the surface again
The sea
Will take care of me
So just let me be
