Middle of the Ocean
KBong Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sun (the sun) is shining down
And the waves (the waves) are crashing all around
Ooh, you know I can be found chillin' in this little old town

In the middle of the ocean
In the middle of the ocean
In the middle of the ocean
In the middle of the ocean
In the middle of the ocean

The sun drifts out of sight (out of sight)
An ocean of stars shining down so bright (so bright)
I'm feeling good, yeah, I'm feeling alright (feeling alright)
Staying up all night, playing to the sunrise

In the middle of the ocean
In the middle of the ocean
In the middle of the ocean
In the middle of the ocean
In the middle of the ocean

I've never felt free like this before (before)
The open ocean is my front door (front door)
Oh, what a wonderful feeling
I can't escape this feeling

The warm sunshine brings a brand new season
The trade winds blow, yeah, they're blowing with the breeze and
I hear you calling out to me
In the middle of the ocean's where I'll be

In the middle of the ocean
I saw my friends down there
In the middle of the ocean
Living life without a care
In the middle of the ocean
Oh yeah, we having a good time
In the middle of the ocean
Palm trees and the breeze got me feeling alright

In the middle of the ocean
Sleeping all day, singing songs all night
In the middle of the ocean
Your warm smile got me feeling so nice
In the middle of the ocean
Damn, I feel so free, I'm feeling free, yeah
In the middle of the ocean
On an island, that's where I'll be, yeah

No worries, no way, no worries, no way
Sleep in the hammock all day, yeah
On an island, you'll find (in the middle of the ocean)
That's where I'll be (hey)
In the middle of the ocean




On an island, you'll find
That's where I'll be
