[Verse 1]
Said there's an ocean and I'm in the way
I'd like to go soon, we'll shine through the lake
I need to feel that you don't need a thing
Got tons of fear, what else should I bring?

[Verse 2]
Said there's a panic that I can't describe
I need that something I see in your eye
Just wanna lay down when I cannot deal
Pick me back up, give me something to feel

[Verse 3]
I've been out looking for somewhere to hide
There's been a mix up somewhere deep inside
I feel the ocean inside of your heart
Just takes a doubt to come smash it apart

[Bridge]
Come on down, got some work to do while I'm around
Come on down, got some work to do while I'm around
Come on down, come on down

[Verse 4]
Said there's an ocean inside of my mind
It's all so murky, the truth's hard to find
When the time gets here you'll vouch you in
It'd be a shame to start over again
