Ocean
Brijean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In this gentle space we lay Calming when I hear you say
I want to be inside your ocean
I want to see what there could be 

And then I woke
In a moment Searching for more I couldn’t see

(Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo) 

I’ll pour a drink or maybe three
Or did you say that you just wanted tea? 

I want to drink up all your ocean I want to feel how deep it goes
And then we woke
In that moment




Searching for more That we could be

(Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo)
