The Sea
Dr. Kucho & Wally Lopez Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never wanted to be looking at the end of my sea
I never wanted to go to the end of my road
I never thought I could fall with no strings on me
Holding up my head up high I keep my head up higher
And every time I run I run away from them they're keeping strings on me
So I cant run too far away too far away

I've been thinking about everything been around inside my life

And I've been thinking about all of the women I couldn't make one my wife
I've been thinking that I never hurt anyone never tried no way
But don't get it wrong, that doesn't mean, the good don't fall in a morbid way
Been thinking about it I only got a little time left
The ones that knew me, they'l believe what my framed to death is
The ones that know me, they won't even be able to say
The truth surrounded, they'l be too scared to walk through that way

I never wanted to be looking at the end of my sea
I never wanted to go to the end of my road
I never thought I could fall with no strings on me
Holding up my head up high I keep my head up higher
And every time I run I run away from them they're keeping strings on me
So I cant run too far away too far away

Been watching the river so long I know almost every fish inside
Been watching the ocean at bay I've been surfing on a tidal wave so high
And I'm about to crash and I'm bound to fall, but I know my heart is
True to my soul, humble n bold, waiting for fate to unfold
You know that it's gonna be right, I know it's not gonna be fine
She knows what she put on me, they know whats coming
You know that it's gonna be right, I know it's not gonna be fine
She knows what she put on me, they know whats coming

I never wanted to be looking at the end of my sea
I never wanted to go to the end of my road
I never thought I could fall with no strings on me
Holding up my head up high I keep my head up higher
And every time I run I run away from them they're keeping strings on me
So I cant run too far away too far away

I've been thinking about everything been around inside my life
And I've been thinking about all of the women I couldn't make one my wife

I've been thinking that I never hurt anyone never tried no way
But don't get it wrong, that doesn't mean, the good don't fall in a morbid way
