Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But just a few months with you and I've learned to float
Can't you see
I wanna be your ocean and your sea you're all I need
I always thought that maybe I was born to drown
But that idea has been flushed away since you came around
Can't you see
I want to be your ocean and your sea
The lyrics to The C.R.S. Players' song Treading The Water Wheel signify a sense of newfound hope and purpose in the singer's life. The opening lines of the song suggest that before the singer met the person they're singing to, they were simply going through the motions of life, without any real sense of direction or purpose. However, since meeting this person, the singer has discovered newfound strength and a renewed sense of self. Rather than just coasting through life, the singer has learned to float and embrace everything life has to offer.
The chorus of the song seems to be an expression of the singer's love and adoration for the person they're addressing. The line "Can't you see I wanna be your ocean and your sea you're all I need" suggests that the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to make the person happy and to be all they need in life. In contrast to the earlier line "I always thought that maybe I was born to drown", the singer now sees themselves as the strength and stability in the other person's life.
Overall, the song seems to be a declaration of love and commitment, with the singer expressing their willingness to be whatever their loved one needs, and their renewed sense of purpose thanks to their relationship.
