Billie Eilish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been watching you for some time
cant stop staring at those ocean eyes
burning cities and napalm skies
fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes
your ocean eyes
no fair
you really know how to make me cry
when you give me those ocean eyes
Im scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
falling into your ocean eyes
those ocean eyes

yeah, yeah- eah- eah
i aint really trippin' if you wanna go
i know i made you cry last year when i was on the road
i meant it when i said it, you can always hit my phone
213 267 9932 girl you know- ow- ow
Ima make this fetty, ooo- ooh- ooh -ooh- ooh
i never would forget you, ooo- ooh- ooh -ooh- ooh
look me in my eyes, tell me you aint a part of me

no fair

No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you give me those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes
No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you give me those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high

Falling into your ocean eyes
No fair

You really know how to make me cry
When you give me those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high




Falling into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes
