about

This song is one I wrote about being tentative in love, worrying in advance what could happen instead of just putting your heart out there

lyrics

I don’t go down to the ocean - I’ve always been afraid before
How does it feel to float on your back - And pretend that you’re miles from shore

They say that it goes on forever - And there are places still that no one has ever seen
How does it feel to be part of something so big - To float there and wonder what it all means

I’ve lived my life – looking behind me
Ever mindful of the following sea
I’ve kept my heart – away from the water
Always worried about how deep it might be
So far under me

It’s a sea that can come up behind you – and take your boat down so fast
It’s as unpredictable as love – comes on strong but never does last

So keep your eyes open always – ‘cos god knows, there be monsters here
Danger is found ahead and behind – if your heart is true you’ll know where to steer
