Gunnar Gehl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it the heat of the moment?
Cause my heart just exploded when I saw your face.
Cause your eyes held me captive, oh.
I ain't askin for ransom.
And I'm still not reactin.
What am I waiting for?
I shoulda known I shoulda known I shoulda stopped for you.
I've been waiting for a girl like you (where they at).
But I don't know if I should make a move (ooo).
Cause I may never come back here.
And I may never see you again.
But I won't forget that ocean blue ocean blue, your ocean blue
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
There's three things that I know about you,
number one's that you got options.
Cause any guy would be free fallin,
lucky to have you.
Number two's that you're a real girl.
Messy bun my ideal girl.
And number three is the deep blue sea
that is lookin back at me.
Am I afraid am I afraid I wanna talk to you?
I shoulda known I shoulda known I shoulda stopped for you.
I've been waiting for a girl like you (where they at).
But I don't know if I should make a move (ooo).
Cause I may never come back here.
And I may never see you again.
But I won't forget that ocean blue ocean blue, your ocean blue
I don't even know.
I just, I just can't stop thinkin about it.
You know, like, what would have happened if I turned around and said something.
Na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na your ocean blue
