lyrics

i am not the ocean type
and yet i dream of being submerged
waking up tomorrow morning
with a conscience blank and free of words
i am not the ocean type
but i want salt eroding my two eyes
chloride filling up my lungs
dampening my tenuous replies

oh headlights, you will be my sun
sea floor, you will be my home
if you will let me sleep alone for a while

i am not the ocean type
and yet i dream of a coastal room
your shining face in every window
warming my surroundings like a womb
but in our solitary bed
i worry you’ll be worrying too much
and when i lose my novelty
that i’ll retreat into the water’s clutch

but ocean, don’t you let me in
cause i will only cause harm
remember i am always on my mind

i will play the lone observer
(you don’t need to hide your voice)
my voice will stay below a murmur
(no one else can hear you now)
diminishing without a word
i don’t want to hear this anymore
i don’t want to feel this anymore
