Sammy Decter
Eve and the Ocean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you dreamin' of tomorrow, again.
The world could be yours if you dream of somethin' more.
You will sail across the seas, my friend.
And there, there you are.
Dancin' on the ocean, shootin' over stars.
This is your life.
It's all you've got.
This is your life.
So, do what you want
Do what you want.
All the serenading.
All your choruses parading.
All your dreams, for us to see.
Oh, and are you,
Would be lovers
Want to fill your hair with flowers.
You know they, they just want to hold your hand.
And there, there you are.
Dancin' on the ocean, staring at the sun
This is your life
And it's all you've got
It's all you've got
This is your life
So, do what you want
Do what you want.
Sometimes they try to tell you it's over.
So get yourself up and you will find it's around the corner.
Hearts crashin', lights flashin'
So get yourself up out of bed.
Maybe it's all in your head.
This is your life
And it's all you've got
It's all you've got
This is your life
Is it what you want, is it what you want, is it what you want?
Is it what you want?
