Measuring Oxygen in Ounces
I left the coast to come back home
I hate the thought of you alone
You're not open
You're not mine
But without you the sun won't shine
I left the coast cause it's not home
I need your air so I can breathe
I need a sign so you'll believe
That I need you
That I'm true
But I've got no words for you
And you still wont kiss me when I leave
When I say coast I mean next to you
Cause no one knows me like you do
You're the ocean
But you're red not blue
Cause I know you
Oh, oh
I hear your voice and I just melt
And feel the same things I've felt
Call me crazy
But come on, blondie
Other guys have nothing on me
And I wanna keep you for myself
When I say coast I mean next to you
Cause no one knows me like you do
You're the ocean
But you're red not blue
Cause I know you
Oh, oh
I can't
I can't
I can't
I can't swim for long
I can't
I can't
I can't
I can't swim for long
When I say coast I mean next to you
Cause no one knows me like you do
You're the ocean
But you're red not blue
Cause I know you
Oh, oh
When I say coast I mean next to you
Cause no one knows me like you do
You're the ocean
But you're red not blue
Cause I know you
Oh, oh, oh
No I can't swim
No I can't swim
No I can't swim
No I can't swim
No I can't, ah
I hate the thought of you alone
You're not open
You're not mine
But without you the sun won't shine
I left the coast cause it's not home
I need your air so I can breathe
I need a sign so you'll believe
That I need you
That I'm true
But I've got no words for you
And you still wont kiss me when I leave
When I say coast I mean next to you
Cause no one knows me like you do
You're the ocean
But you're red not blue
Cause I know you
Oh, oh
I hear your voice and I just melt
And feel the same things I've felt
Call me crazy
But come on, blondie
Other guys have nothing on me
And I wanna keep you for myself
When I say coast I mean next to you
Cause no one knows me like you do
You're the ocean
But you're red not blue
Cause I know you
Oh, oh
I can't
I can't
I can't
I can't swim for long
I can't
I can't
I can't
I can't swim for long
When I say coast I mean next to you
Cause no one knows me like you do
You're the ocean
But you're red not blue
Cause I know you
Oh, oh
When I say coast I mean next to you
Cause no one knows me like you do
You're the ocean
But you're red not blue
Cause I know you
Oh, oh, oh
No I can't swim
No I can't swim
No I can't swim
No I can't swim
No I can't, ah
