The Ocean
Josh Rouse · Other Songs - Josh Rouse
To take me away
Caught in a bad time
I can't escape
I wasn't looking, you came back wave
No one is ever really sure
What I feel is true
I thought I was really sure
What I felt was you
And now I'm in the ocean
Getting pushed by the waves
I'm going under, getting carried away
Sinking down, slow, sinking down slow,
Sinking down slowly
Sinking down, slow, sinking down slow,
Sinking down slowly
Down to the bottle
No one is ever really sure
What I feel is true
I thought I was really sure
What I felt was you
And now I'm in the ocean
Getting pushed by the waves
Now I'm going under, getting carried away
Sinking down, slow, sinking down slow,
Sinking down slowly
Sinking down, slow, sinking down slow,
Sinking down slowly
Sinking down, slow, sinking down slow,
Sinking down slowly
Sinking down, slow, sinking down slow,
Sinking down slowly.
