I never liked the ocean
But when I look into her eyes
I find myself drowning
In that sea of blue
Getting caught in the flecks
Being dragged downI never liked the rain
But when I look into her eyes
I feel myself getting drenched
Standing there in the storm
Letting it soak through my skin
Until she's buried inside meI never liked the world outside
But when I look into her eyes
I remember how green it is
Outside of the walls I've built
And I let myself feel the world
Until I'm lost in it
And I don't want to be found
