Your life is the ocean
And your heart is a wave
Like a dog in the sun
I found my peace in your storm
As I sail for days
I keep drowning away
Would my sailors forgive me
For feeling this way?
You said, "Hey, Mister!
Do follow through
Let's go and build a house
Big enough to fit us two
We'll weave a castle there
The castle of our dreams
My knight in dining armour
And I your blanket queen"
Girl, you're just like that pretty house
With wooden beams, you're facing south
You are my shelter, you are my little home
Your walls are painted pink and green
With a hint of tangerine
I see a crack in the window
I'm waking up to hold you
Your blemishes, all your tragedies are mine
'Cause your life is the ocean
And your heart is a wave
Like a dog in the sun
I found my peace in your storm
As I sail for days
I keep drowning away
Would my sailors forgive me
For feeling this way?
As days turn into years
Got more than I deserved
There's so much left to learn
As I flip through your pages
As sweet as crème brûlée
These memories we've made
Now let me take your hand
And offer a lifetime
'Cause, darling, all these years have gone
Just as the tree we sat upon
So afraid to fall, the way we laughed
We made it through
My sailors, they have come 'round
Their ballads bring a different sound
I guess they all have drowned in love with you
The way I have too
'Cause your life is the ocean
And your heart the biggest wave
Like a dog in the sun
I found my peace in your storm
As I sail for days
I keep on drowning, drowning away
Would the gods forgive me
For feeling this way?
