Polaris
Oceans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

all I ever wanted
was for you to know
that I care for you

Mistakes were made
I always gave you second chances
But will you
Where is my home?
Inside I'm torn
I’m lost inside a storm

I will reap
what I saw inside you
can I find a home
lost inside a storm

polaris
is what brings sailors home
this is what I see when I look at you

Who sows wind
will reap a storm
inside I’m torn
I’m lost inside a storm
inside I’m torn




I wanna be myself again
bring me home
