Touch Back Down
Ocean Alley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last week it had some weight
Was feeling heavy in my corner
Well, I should probably go surfing
And I probably can't complain
Need to get up out this place
Through the sky to somewhere warmer
But the ride it, seems concerning
Makes it hard to journey straight

Oh, soon
Won't be long until we touch back down
I just wanna touch back down
So soon
Won't be long until we touch back down
I just wanna touch back down

This week I found some space
Hidden deeper underwater
As I rise up to the surface
I can feel it on my face
Have I found it all to late?
Can it even break my fall?
Bad dreams just keep returning
Maybe one day, I'll be safe

Oh, soon
Won't be long until we touch back down
I just wanna touch back down
So soon
Won't be long until we touch back down
I just wanna touch back down

Going through these different stages
I was lonely then
Found it falling into place and
Everything is clear

'Cause oh, soon
Won't be long until we touch back down
I just wanna touch back down
So soon
Won't be long until we touch back down
I just wanna touch back down
Oh, soon
Won't be long until we touch back down
I just wanna touch back down
So soon




Won't be long until we touch back down
I just wanna touch back down
