Ocean
Hanna-McEuen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think I'll go down to the ocean
I think I'll go down and lie by the sea
Sit alone and watch the waves break
I don't think I'm ever going to leave
To leave, to leave

Find a girl that looks like an angel
Take her home just to be by her side
The kind of girl you'd love to marry
Someday to be your brand new bride
Your brand new bride

I think I'll go down to the ocean
I think I'll go down and lie by the sea
Sit alone and watch the waves break
I don't think I'm ever going to leave
to leave, to leave, to leave, to leave
to leave, to leave, to leave, to leave

Well I know I've got this mission
Things to do and things to say, every day
And if you give your heart permission
I know you'd feel the same old way
The same same way

I think I'll go down to the ocean
I think I'll go down and lie by the sea
Sit alone and watch the sun set
I don't think I'm ever going to leave
to leave, to leave, to leave, to leave
She'll be waiting by the shore
And I will be, I don't wanna be alone anymore





I think I'll go down to the ocean

Love these guys. Wish there was more music here by them. The Lowlands is another beautiful song they do. What voices.

@marnellkent3682

Oh I agree! I just discovered their hauntingly beautiful version of Lowlands. Just perfection. I wish they would come out with more music. So glad to have this.

@ceejay7049

I remember the first time I heard this song. Its such a shame great songs like this don't get noticed.

@1978ymca

I can't believe this song is 10 years old now and most people have never heard it, that's a tragedy.

@laurensmith1992

J Lane can't believe it either, this is hands down one of my most favorite songs. its beautiful

I know I am getting older because I appreciate beautiful songs like this more than ever. Love the chord changes. I never tire of this one.

@andresramirez6358

Have you heard mceuen’s version of this. He tried to go solo and has this song on his album. I don’t know if he re-did it or if it’s the same version but i never tire of both.

@jimcswk1717
