Ocean to Ocean
Rupert Gregson-Williams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I met you on the first day of freshman year
You sat next to me in english 9
And I couldn't stop staring at your eyes
So innocent and green
Like some ocean that I had never seen
I saw you again the next day
At auditions for the school play
You had that same look in your eye
That you did yesterday
That's the same look I would fall for
Just moments later
When you would look at me and say
You're beautiful, so beautiful
For just one day do you think
You could fall in love with me again
I know its been years
Since you looked at me that way
In the drama club hallway
And the nights you stood with me
In the wings
Talking about paper rings
But its never too late to start over
With that girl you met in the 9th grade
Do you think you could fall in love with me again
And look at me with those ocean eyes
I remember the first time
You came to my house
We spent 3 hours talking
And sitting on my couch
You couldn't shut up about
Some trip you took last summer
To the ocean
Just to see the sunrise
It reminded me of the first day I met you
As I was looking into your ocean eyes
For just one day do you think
You could fall in love with me again
I know its been years
Since you looked at me that way
In the drama club hallway
And the nights you stood with me
In the wings
Talking about paper rings
But its never too late to start over
With that girl you met in the 9th grade
Do you think you could fall in love with me again
And look at me with those ocean eyes
You leaned in to kiss me
And the world fell away
It was just you and I
And your ocean eyes
Your love was stronger than the tides
It hit me like a wave your ocean eyes
For just one day do you think
You could fall in love with me again
I know its been years
Since you looked at me that way
In the drama club hallway
And the nights you stood with me
In the wings
Talking about paper rings
But its never too late to start over
With that girl you met in the 9th grade
Do you think you could fall in love with me again
And look at me with those ocean eyes
I miss your ocean eyes
For just one day
I wanna look into them again




It hit me like a wave
Your ocean eyes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rupert Gregson-Williams' song Ocean to Ocean capture the story of two high school sweethearts who meet again years later and hope to rekindle their relationship. The singer reminisces about the first day of freshman year, when he met a girl with innocent green eyes that reminded him of the ocean. He fell for her instantly and recounts moments they shared together in the drama club hallway and backstage. He remembers how they talked about paper rings, a symbol of their love, and how they spent hours talking on the couch during a visit to his house. The singer longs for her ocean eyes and hopes that they can fall in love again.


The use of the metaphor of the ocean is prominent throughout the song. The singer compares the girl's eyes to the ocean, which he had never seen before. The ocean represents the unknown and unexplored territory that both of them faced in their relationship. The ocean is also symbolic of the waves of emotions and feelings that they experienced while falling in love. The waves are representative of the ups and downs of their relationship, which they must overcome if they hope to rekindle their love.

2:52 when Arthur starts to spin his trident and shatters Orm's trident like glass is absolutely epic.

syed ahmed

Boy, the moment when he brings the actual wrath of the 7 seas on the Atlantian army it was epic. Sharks, undersea monsters, trench just crashing to the Atlantian army 1:36 . Pure epicness.

Yet it can trigger World War Z PTSD for people who played the game.

Also this is when a comic book moment that’s been deemed a cheesy joke for decades is taken to a new epic level.
