A Drop In The Ocean lyrics
Ron Pope Lyrics

A drop in the ocean
The singer's feelings and actions, in the grand scheme of things, are small and insignificant.

A change in the weather
The singer's emotions seem to change unpredictably, just like the weather.

I was praying that you and me might end up together
The singer wanted a relationship with the person they are addressing.

It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
The odds of the artist's desired outcome seem very low, like wishing for something impossible to happen.

But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven
Despite the odds, the artist cherishes their time with the person they are addressing because they bring them joy and happiness.

I don't wanna waste the weekend
The singer does not want to spend time with the person they are addressing if they do not love them.

If you don't love me pretend
The singer would rather the person they are addressing pretend to love them than not at all, so they can still spend time together.

A few more hours then it's time to go
The artist knows their time with the person they are addressing is limited and will soon come to an end.

And as my train rolls down the east coast
The artist is physically moving away from the person they are addressing.

I wonder how you keep warm
The artist is curious about the person they are addressing and how they are coping emotionally without them around.

It's too late to cry
The singer implies that it is too late to go back on their decision to leave.

Too broken to move on
The artist suggests that they themselves cannot move on from their emotions towards the person they are addressing.

And still I can't let you be
The singer does not want to completely let go of the person they are addressing and move on from their relationship.

Most nights I hardly sleep
The singer is troubled by their emotions and has difficulty sleeping.

Don't take what you don't need from me
The singer asks the person they are addressing not to take advantage of their emotions.

Misplaced trust and old friends
The artist may have had negative experiences with trust and friendship in the past.

Never counting regrets
The artist does not regret their actions or decisions, even if they were not the best.

By the grace of God I do not rest at all
The singer may be relying on their faith in God to carry them through their emotions and lack of sleep.

And New England as the leaves change
The singer is observing the changing seasons and the beauty of nature, possibly to find comfort or perspective.

The last excuse that I'll claim
The artist will not make any more excuses for their behavior or emotions after this.

I was a boy who loved a women like a little girl
The artist is reflecting on their past behavior and emotions, possibly feeling immature or foolish in hindsight.

Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore, no no
The artist implies they feel content and happy in the present moment, and heaven (a metaphor) is within reach.

You are my heaven
The singer repeats that the person they are addressing brings them great joy and happiness.
