Ocean
Lady A Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And feel like they're worlds away?
I can see your sad story eyes
So how do you have no words to say?
All I want is to fall in deeper
Than I've ever been, why won't you let me?
I can handle your heart, so help me
So much beauty at my feet
All I wanna do is swim
But the waves keep crashin' in
No, I'm not afraid to drown
Take me out, take me down
I'm so tired of the shore
Let me in, baby
You're an ocean, beautiful and blue
I wanna swim in you
Like a lighthouse, I've been shinin' bright
Through the dark for the both of us
And, "I've done it outta love" is not enough
But God, how I wish it was
And I don't wanna find out
How much lonely I can take, before you lose me
Baby, look at me and swear you won't lose me
Here you are, next to me
So much beauty at my feet
All I wanna do is swim
But the waves keep crashin' in
No, I'm not afraid to drown
Take me out, take me down
I'm so tired of the shore
Let me in, baby
You're an ocean beautiful and blue
I wanna swim in you
I can't let it go
From moments in your arms
But they come back again
The waves, the waves, the waves, the waves
The waves, the waves, the waves, the waves
Here you are, next to me
So much beauty at my feet
All I wanna do is swim
But the waves keep crashin' in
No, I'm not afraid to drown
Take me out, take me down
I'm so tired of the shore
Let me in, baby
You're an ocean beautiful and blue
I wanna swim in you
In Lady A's song Ocean, the lyrics explore the complexities of a romantic relationship where the two people involved are seemingly close to each other, yet feel worlds apart. The verse opens with the singer expressing their confusion as to why the person they are close to isn't willing to open up and share their emotions despite the fact that this unique relationship could take them into deeper waters. The chorus and title of the song, "You're an ocean, beautiful and blue, I wanna swim in you", is all about wanting to engage and dive deeper into the beauty of the relationship. However, the line "But the waves keep crashing in," represents the challenges the relationship is facing, which might lead to the relationship drowning. The bridge furthers this idea of distance in the relationship by comparing the singer's strong belief in the relationship to be like a lighthouse shining bright, even in the darkest moments for both individuals. But despite this unwavering belief, the singer is scared of how long they can wait for the other person to catch up before losing faith.

@Mac Monroy let's put the whole verse so It's easier to explain.
"Like a lighthouse I've been shining bright
Through the dark for the both of us
And "I've done it outta love" is not enough
But God, how I wish it was
And I don't wanna find out
How much lonely I can take before you lose me
Baby, look at me and swear you won't lose me"
When people are going through dark times in thier relationship or one of them in particular going through some personal struggles he/she tend to shut down and push everyone who try to get close to them even their significant other, yet you still believe your love will be enough to see things through and eventually everything will be alright, but that doesn't happen in a day or two it takes months and even years and those days will feel lonely for you.
And even you love them so much and want this struggle to end you might end up giving up and leave/divorce.
That's what the lyric mean by lose me.
The ocean is the significant other who keeps pushing you to the shore and you are the lighthouse who trying to shine light on those dark times.

That's my song to it brings a lot of memory fat my favorite song for a relationship
@melissapronovost8151
I know most people will hear this song and think of a guy and girl and how one of them can't show their feelings. However, as a mom to a beautiful 9 year old daughter who is nonverbal this song really strikes close to my heart. Having a child you love so dearly that is unable to speak and communicate is one of the hardest things I know. I often feel like I'm drowning trying so hard for her to learn to communicate. I long one day to hear her say "I love you Mama".
@c-break2559
One day she will, I'll pray for her 💛
@amandas1888
