Lyrics
0:05I've been closing my eyes
0:09Coming back to life
0:11And I cry when my heart is only broken
0:18Praying for dry ground
0:20Though I only want to drown
0:23When I find myself swimming in your ocean
0:29I've been pining for light
0:32When the moon is full and bright
0:34You can laugh but I take it as a token
0:41Praying for dry ground
0:43Though I only want to drown
0:46When I find myself swimming in your ocean
0:54First its where you been then why you're in the way
1:00Never what you want but how much you can take
1:05Lonely wave toward the shore
1:08Lonely sparrow singing for its lonely world
1:13Its lonely world
1:15So I name what I've lost
1:18Whether really lost or not
1:21And I keep making for a door that isn't open
1:28Praying for dry ground
1:30Though I only want to drown
1:33When I find myself swimming in your ocean
1:39Ooh
1:44Uh huh
1:52First its all you want then all that you can take
1:58Never who you'll be but when you're gonna break
2:03Lonely horses running through
2:06Lonely flowers call into their lonely world
2:11Their lonely world
2:13You can die where you stand
2:16Try to land the best you can
2:19You'll wander off any path you might have chosen
2:25If it sounds too severe
2:28Like thunder disappears
2:30We all learn what we will about devotion
2:36When we make for dry ground
2:39Though we really oughta drown
2:42All these leaves keep sinking in slow motion
2:48I don't want to be saved
2:51How I wish you felt the same
2:53When I find myself swimming in your ocean
2:59When I find myself swimming in your ocean
3:05Uh huh
I've been closing my eyes Coming back to life And I cry when my heart is only broken Praying for dry ground Though I only want to drown When I find myself swimming in your ocean I've been pining for light When the moon is full and bright You can laugh but I take it as a token Praying for dry ground Though I only want to drown When I find myself swimming in your ocean First its where you been then why you're in the way Never what you want but how much you can take Lonely wave toward the shore Lonely sparrow singing for its lonely world Its lonely world So I name what I've lost Whether really lost or not And I keep making for a door that isn't open Praying for dry ground Though I only want to drown When I find myself swimming in your ocean Ooh Uh huh First its all you want then all that you can take Never who you'll be but when you're gonna break Lonely horses running 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 sinking in slow motion I don't want to be saved How I wish you felt the same When I find myself swimming in your ocean When I find myself swimming in your ocean Uh huh
