Ocean

Reach out with my arms
Make out who you are
Pressure's been building up inside of me
For far too long (far too long)
It's like a hurricane minus the destruction
It's like a piece of cake plus the complications
And I gotta get this thing off of my chest
It's for the best, oh

It's building up inside of me
It's something that I wanna do
But I don't have the courage to
Say it, say it, say it
It's surrounding me, it's surrounding me
All around me, all around me
And I have nowhere to go, oh

I'm surrounded by the ocean
Nothing but the clear blue waters, waters, waters
I'm surrounded by the ocean
Nothing else to do but swim farther, farther, farther
I'm surrounded by the ocean
It's a beautiful prison (so beautiful) yeah
I'm surrounded by the ocean
And this is how I feel when I have to say
I love you

Every night I recite these words to myself and
I feel so confident that
I will surely do this thing right but
Whenever I approach you
It escapes my mind
It's like I do not know you when I
Try to say it, try to say it

It's building up inside of me
It's something that I wanna do (wanna do)
But I don't have the courage to
The courage to say it
It's surrounding me, it's surrounding me
All around me, all around me
And I have nowhere to go

I'm surrounded by the ocean
Nothing but the clear blue waters, waters, waters
I'm surrounded by the ocean
Nothing else to do but swim farther, farther, farther
I'm surrounded by the ocean
It's a beautiful prison (beautiful, beautiful)
I'm surrounded by the ocean (oh)
This is how I feel when I have to say
I love you

And these three words go across my mind
Everyday
But they never seem to come out of my mouth (never seems to)
Sometimes I have to wonder, wonder
If it's meant to be, yeah
Cuz my swimming has got me nowhere (nowhere)
I'm about to drown right now (ooo yeah)
But I don't wanna die yet
I wanna say (I wanna say)
I wanna say (I wanna say)

It's building up inside of me
This is something I wanna do
But I don't have the courage to
Say it
It's surrounding me, it's surrounding me (say it, oh)
All around me, all around me
Oh oh

I'm surrounded by the ocean
Nothing but the clear blue waters, waters, waters
I'm surrounded by the ocean
Nothing else to do but swim farther, farther, farther (swim farther, yeah)
I'm surrounded by the ocean
It's a beautiful prison
I'm surrounded by the ocean (oh)
And this how I feel when I have to say
I love you, I love you

I'm surrounded by the ocean, the ocean, the ocean
The ocean, the ocean, the ocean
I'm surrounded by the ocean, the ocean, the ocean
The ocean, the ocean, the ocean
Ooh, I love you
