Ocean Inside is out now!    • Ocean Inside  

🖊️LYRICS🖊️ (the correct ones, bc I sang it wrong here lol)
VERSE 1
You don’t know the half of it darling
You’ve barely tasted a drop
I tried to show how the river flows
But the boat’s still tied at the dock.
See you don’t know the half of it darling
How this ocean shines so blue
Full of life and shipwrecks
That I sunk just for you.

And now that you’re leaving,
And the river’s running dry
I’m left with the salt of the question on my lips

CHORUS
If I had shown you the ocean inside of me
If I had shown you my ocean’s ways
Would you have dived into the tide?
Would you have loved the waves’ embrace?
If you had known the ocean inside.

VERSE 2
Wish I had had the power
To sing with a siren’s call
Or venture out without a doubt
From the old familiar shore.
Wish I had seen it sooner
That the lighthouse calling bright
Stood upon the jagged rocks
And couldn’t save me from the night.

Now the ocean’s churning
Where it fits between my ribs
All I taste is the salt of the question on my lips.

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Through the pull of the moon and the peril of the storms
I’d have given you everything
Sure, I’ve got depths as dark as the sky
But there’s ethereal light to discover here too.
So I’ve learned how much love I can hold
And if you wanna leave it all behind
I’ve explored the expanse within
But I find no space for you now.

FINAL CHORUS
You’ll never know the ocean inside of me
You’ll never know my ocean’s ways
You don’t get to sigh with the tide
Or be carried by the waves
It’s all mine, this ocean inside

Now I know there’s an ocean inside of me
Now I know all the ocean’s ways
I’ll go sailing with the tide
I’ll follow the waves’ embraces
And I’ll love this ocean inside.
