In The Sea
B. Cause Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love

I've been out here so very long
I done lost all my direction
Baby, when you came my way

Thought I had found my protection

But a strong wind came into my life
It surely took me by surprise
I can't seem to control these tears
That's falling from my eyes

I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love

Sea of love
Baby, I depended on you
For the love navigation
But now you've gone and deserted me

Can't you see that I'm in desperation
I'm in the middle of a bad love storm
And it's bad as it can be
I look around, all I can see

Is water coming down over me
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning

Drowning in the sea of love
Sea of love, sea of love
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times

But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
Sea of love
But right now I'm just drowning

Drowning in the sea of love
A sea of love, sea of love

Line by Line Meaning

I've been down one time
I have been knocked down once before

And I've been down two times
I have been knocked down twice before

But right now I'm drowning
I am currently struggling and overwhelmed

Drowning in the sea of love
I am overwhelmed by the intensity of love

I've been out here so very long
I have been searching for something for a considerable amount of time

I done lost all my direction
I am lost and confused

Baby, when you came my way
When I met you

Thought I had found my protection
I thought I had found safety, security, and comfort

But a strong wind came into my life
An unexpected and powerful force entered my life

It surely took me by surprise
It caught me off guard and left me stunned

I can't seem to control these tears
I am unable to control my emotions and am crying

That's falling from my eyes
I am crying uncontrollably

Sea of love
The intense, all-encompassing feeling of love

Baby, I depended on you
I relied on you for support and guidance

For the love navigation
To navigate through the difficulties of love

But now you've gone and deserted me
You have abandoned me

Can't you see that I'm in desperation
I am in a state of extreme despair

I'm in the middle of a bad love storm
I am in the middle of a difficult and tumultuous situation regarding love

And it's bad as it can be
It's as bad as it can possibly be

I look around, all I can see
I am surrounded by love and sadness

Is water coming down over me
I feel like I am drowning in emotions and difficulties

But right now I'm just drowning
I am currently feeling overwhelmed
