Ocean
NJWA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before I met you
Too young to understand
That this some love is just a game
But I know better now
Got to prove to you somehow
Iโฒve grown to understand
What it means to breathe in love of a man
You tell me 'bout being in love in the sea full of faiths
But darling now Iโฒm drowning in the ocean of mistakes
That I've made in my past but I really want this to last
Baby let me show you that my love is really true
If you turned away, I wonder what i would do
Got me back to the show, I'll be the love youโฒve been searching for
Oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh
I was not schooled in the matters of love
Before I met you thought my ___ with your love was enough
But I know better now
Got to prove to you somehow
Iโฒve grown to understand
What it means to breathe in love of a man
You tell me 'bout being in love in the sea full of faiths
But darling now Iโฒm drowning in the ocean of mistakes
That I've made in my past but I really want this to last
Baby let me show you that my love is really true
If you turned away, I wonder what i would do
Got me back to the show, Iโฒll be the love you've been searching for
Oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh
Got me back to the show
Got me back to the show
Got me back
You know that I want you baby
Know that I need you baby
Iโฒll be the love you've been searching for
The lyrics of NJWAโs song โOceanโ are about a person who was naive and reckless in love before they met their current partner. They describe themselves as a โfoolโ who didnโt understand that love was not just a game. But now that they have learned the meaning of true love, they want to prove their feelings to their partner and convince them of the sincerity of their love.
The lyrics use metaphors of the ocean to represent the ups and downs of a relationship. In the beginning, the singer talks of being lost at sea and drowning in the mistakes of their past. However, they want to make things right and show their partner that their love is true. The chorus says that they will be the love that the other person has been searching for.
Overall, the songโs message is about realizing the value of love and not taking it for granted. Itโs a story of growth and maturity in a relationship, where the singer acknowledges their mistakes and seeks forgiveness and a fresh start.
