Ocean
Kiko Franco Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am trying to hold on to your love
In ocean
Swept under
And even if you’re gone
I still see hear your voice
In an ocean
I sail to you

How do I know
When to stop
When you’re gone, gone too far
I guess you don’t recognise me at all

All I see is you
You’re so far away
Whatever they say
We will find our way
We can never lose
Cause all I see is you

In the ocean
In the ocean
I see you
I see you

How do I know
When to stop
When you’re gone, gone too far
I guess you don’t recognise me at all

All I see is you
You’re so far away
Whatever they say
We will find our way
We can never lose
Cause all I see is you

In the ocean
In the ocean
I see you
I see you
In the ocean
In the ocean

I see you
I see you

Line by Line Meaning

I am trying to hold on to your love
I am struggling to keep your love with me.

In ocean
In the vastness and depths of the ocean.

Swept under
Being taken away by strong waves and currents.

And even if you’re gone
Even if you're not around anymore.

I still see hear your voice
I can still hear your voice echoing in my mind.

In an ocean
Surrounded in the midst of the ocean.

I sail to you
I navigate and make my way towards you through the sea.

How do I know when to stop
How do I recognize the limit, the end point?

When you’re gone, gone too far
When you've disappeared, and I can't seem to reach you anymore.

I guess you don’t recognize me at all
I think you've completely forgotten about me.

All I see is you
All that's in my sight and mind is you.
