This Could Be It - Ocean Lyrics

Oh my dear sweet ocean
Did you know
Just how big and scary
You can seem

Is it that you
Are so vast?
Do you know that
You can drag me away

Please don't carry me away
I'm just not feeling strong today
I can't fight it
I'm lost and frightened
I don't know why
Can you hear me cry

Oh my dear sweet ocean
Did you know
You fill me with an
Existential dread

Can you hear me
My sweet ocean
You're just so loud
Are you trying to say

I won't wash you away
I'm just too cold to hold today
Please don't leave me
I'll be too lonely
My tide is high
Can you hear me cry

Oh my dear sweet ocean
Please don't go
But please don't come
Any closer

I know you mean well
But you can't see
Why I need to keep
You away

Please don't follow me home
I can't love you til I've grown
I surrender
I feel too tender
My eyes are dry
But can you hear me cry
