Drop In the Ocean
Omi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waiting here patiently for you to say that
You sent him on his way, you sent him on his way
And I know you're worried, been tossing and turning
It's keeping you awake, thinking it was a mistake

But it's time
You knew he was no good, had to let him go
You'll be fine
Just reach out your hand now, you got mine to hold

I'm telling you that ooh, we were meant to be
Darling can't you see that I'm your whole wide world
And he's a drop in the ocean
Ooh, wouldn't you agree
I'm the only ship that's sailing on your sea
And he's a drop in the ocean
He's a drop in the ocean, ha

A drop in the ocean
Ha, a drop in the ocean
He's a drop in the ocean

See what the earth brings
Don't sweat the small things
It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright
It's only a moment, just keep moving forward
And I'mma make you mine, yeah I'mma make you mine

But it's time you knew he was no good, had to let him go
And you'll be fine
Just reach out your hand now, you got mine to hold

I'm telling you that ooh, we were meant to be
Darling can't you see that I'm your whole wide world
And he's a drop in the ocean
Ooh, wouldn't you agree
I'm the only ship that's sailing on your sea
And he's a drop in the ocean
A drop in the ocean

I'm telling you that ooh, we were meant to be
Darling can't you see that I'm your whole wide world
And he's a drop in the ocean
Ooh, wouldn't you agree
I'm the only ship that's sailing on your sea




And he's a drop in the ocean
He's a drop in the ocean, ha yeah

Why the hell are you douchebags attacking michael for?

Ultra Music claims to be an edm channel. You would expect an edm channel to upload edm, wouldn't you? You buttholes.

Also, if you haven't noticed, a lot of tropical house tracks sound like this song and tropical house IS indeed edm!

And also, do you douchebags even know what a drop is? I would guess not, because you are probably assuming that a drop is supposed to be something powerful, loud and jumpy, aren't you? Do you think that if a song is chilling, than it can't be electronic? If you think so, than you're wrong. Get some info before you just randomly decide to bash someone.

What the heck's wrong with you?

You got mine to hold

This looks like an ad for Nivea with all the dark blue
