Ocean
Parachute Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Calling you from miles away
I hope and I pray
That you're still awake
It happens when you pick up the phone
You say hello
I'm back at home
I ask about your day and tell you that I miss you
We go through everything but nothing that we need to say
For a moment I swear I can almost feel you
And I'm burning, babe

I'm on the other side on fire
With an ocean between us
Ocean between us
You're on the other side of this wire
With an ocean between us
Ocean between us

I hear the sound of your voice coming in so clear
I feel the rush like a wave and it takes me there

Counting every breath that you breathe
You're on your bed falling asleep
I never want to hang up the call
Cause hearing you there beats nothing at all
I hope I never learn an easy way to miss you
We're coming closer but it's getting harder every day
For a moment I swear I can almost feel you
And I'm burning, babe

I'm on the other side on fire
With an ocean between us
Ocean between us
You're on the other side of this wire
With an ocean between us
Ocean between us

I hear the sound of your voice coming in so clear
I feel the rush like a wave and it takes me there


I gotta get to you
Get to you
I gotta get to you
I gotta get to you
Get to you
I gotta get to you

I'm on the other side on fire
With an ocean between us
Ocean between us
You're on the other side of this wire
With an ocean between us
Ocean between us

I'm on the other side on fire
With an ocean between us
Ocean between us
You're on the other side of this wire
With an ocean between us
Ocean between us






I hear the sound of your voice coming in so clear
I feel the rush like a wave and it takes me there
