Ocean
Stuart Mavis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

44 eyes in the backseat
Everybody dances
To the power of beat
I swear I went too far
But I guess they don't believe
I drive into the ocean
Without anybody seeing
I saw 44 44 eyes
I saw 44 44 eyes
44 yes in the black street
And everbody glances till the powder is a treat
I swear I went too far
But I guess they don't believe
I drive into the ocean without anybody seeing
I saw 44 44 eyes
I saw 44 44 eyes
I saw 44 44 eyes
They don't leave me alone tonight
I went there before for something I would never stray
Wishing on the road till I float
I escaped the night
Cause I saw 44 44 eyes
I saw 44 44 eyes




I saw 44 44 eyes
I saw 44 44 eyes
