Lyrics for In Your Ocean

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
