Like The Sea

Alicia Keys · The Element of Freedom [2009]

love is like the sea

leaves you on your knees

feel it pull you in

then it takes you, takes you

over, over

love is like the sea

leaves you on your knees

first your floating high

then it takes you takes you

under under



well its cold

cold under water

in the night time

but i dove

dove to the bottom

to see what i'd find



thats when i saw a light

a glowing paradise

thought i stay a while

its been calling me underwater child

everything that i ever dream



taking my breath away

currents got a hold on me

sweeping me away

wish i can stay

takes me to the top

its the cycle that never stops



love is like the sea

leaves you on your knees

feel it pull you in

then it takes you, takes you

over, over

love is like the sea

leaves you on your knees

first your floating high

then it takes you takes you

under under



(takes you takes you over

takes you takes you under)

(takes you takes you over)ove

(takes you takes you under)



say i been told

told you only find it once in a lifetime

so you better hold

hold on stronger then ever

like its the last time



So when you see the light

like a ship in the night

you will found a place

you been looking for

like a distant shore

don't you ever look back again



heres something you should know

sea is still in control

cherish everyday

cause you never know

it can take away

the very thing you love the most



love is like the sea

leaves you on your knees

feel it pull you in

then it takes you, takes you

over, over

love is like the sea

leaves you on your knees

first your floating high

then it takes you takes you

under under



(takes you takes you over) oh

takes you takes you under)so far

(takes you takes you over)

(takes you takes you under)this is love like the sea



(takes you takes you over)

takes you takes you under)can you feel the pull

(takes you takes you over)its calling you

(takes you takes you under)come on



love is like the sea

leaves you on your knees

feel it pull you in

then it takes you, takes you

over, over

love is like the sea

leaves you on your knees

first your floating high

then it takes you takes you

under under
