Ocean

Polly Paulusma

Swim out
Not waving, but drowning
I can feel you crying
Though they tell me you're fine
Swim out
Just keep treading water
If I could only see you
I could throw you a line

And I say ooh, bobbing on this ocean
You rise and fall with every ebb and flow
And I say ooh, quiet in the commotion
I'll be your rock and that's all you need to know

Swim out
Out, through all my faults
And all the stupid things
That I have said and done
Swim out
Find a place to shelter
From the grilled confessional
The gilted gun

And I say ooh, bobbing on this ocean
You rise and fall with every ebb and flow
And I say ooh, quiet in the commotion
I'll be your rock, just hang on and don't let go

Ooh, see it in slow motion
Warm skies above and a firm footing down below
Ooh, you can be my ocean
I'll be your rock and that's all you need to know

Swim out
Not waving but drowning
I can feel you crying
Though they tell me you're fine
Swim out
Just keep treading water
If I could only see you
If I could only see you
If I could only see you
