These Kids Wear Crowns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To get low, to reload, and go, oh!
Again and again
I get on my high horse just long enough
To get low, to reload, and go, oh!
Again and again
I met you in a new york minute
'Cause I, have been there before
'Cause I, have been waiting for this
I've been waiting for this
I've been waiting for this
(Take all the time you need, don't forget about me)
I've been waiting for this
(Going through the motions, swimming through these oceans)
I get on my high horse just long enough
To get low, to reload, and go, oh!
Again and again
I get on my high horse, baby
Your name escapes me
I met you in a new york minute
The second I got in I'll be committed, I said
'Cause I, have been there before
'Cause I, have been waiting for this
I've been waiting for this
I've been waiting for this
(Take all the time you need, don't forget about me)
I've been waiting for this
(Going through the motions, swimming through these oceans)
You said don't wait up,
The night is cold but I stayed awake all night
And this is how to twist her words to cliches
And how to lose a girl in ten days
She said don't wait up,
The night is cold but I stayed awake all night
And this is how to twist her words to cliches
And how to lose a girl in ten days
I've been waiting for this
I've been waiting for this
I've been waiting for this
(Take all the time you need, don't forget about me)
I've been waiting for this
(Going through the motions, swimming through these oceans)
Take all the time you need
Don't forget about me
Going through the motions,
Swimming through these oceans
These Kids Wear Crowns’ song “Oceans” speaks about the classic situation where someone gets on their “high horse,” meaning becoming overly confident or self-righteous, only to realize their mistakes and seek forgiveness. The first lines of the song, “I get on my high horse just long enough to get low, to reload and go, oh! Again and again,” illustrate this point. The singer acknowledges that they have been through this cycle before and continue repeating the same mistake.
The song also describes a romantic relationship that the singer has been longing for. They met the person in a “New York minute,” meaning it happened so quickly that they were swept off their feet. They understand that they've waited for this moment and seem very excited. However, the other person seems to be less interested, telling them not to wait up, and eventually, they lose the person.
Throughout the chorus, the singer repeats the line “I’ve been waiting for this” to emphasize the significance of this moment for them. The last lines of the song, “Take all the time you need, don’t forget about me, going through the motions, swimming through these oceans,” reinforce the idea that they are still hanging on to this relationship, even though it ended poorly. Despite the other person telling them to move on and that they’re “going through the motions,” the singer is still willing to wait.

I get on my high horse just long enough
To get low, to reload, and go, oh!
Again and again
I often fool myself into thinking I'm better than others, only to realize I'm not and need to start over again. This is a recurring pattern in my life.
I met you in a new york minute
The second I get it I'll be committed, I said
'Cause I, have been there before
'Cause I, have been waiting for this
I've been waiting for this
I've been waiting for this
(Take all the time you need, don't forget about me)
I've been waiting for this
(Going through the motions, swimming through these oceans)
I fell in love with you incredibly fast and I'm ready to commit, because I've been longing for a relationship like this. I've waited for this moment for a long time, but I don't want to rush you - just don't forget about me. I feel like I'm just going through the motions of life, trying to navigate all the struggles that come with life.
You said don't wait up,
The night is cold but I stayed awake all night
And this is how to twist her words to cliches
And how to lose a girl in ten days
She said don't wait up,
The night is cold but I stayed awake all night
And this is how to twist her words to cliches
And how to lose a girl in ten days
You told me not to wait for you, but I couldn't help it and stayed up all night waiting for you. This is how to ruin a relationship by not listening to someone's words and assumptions. This is how to lose a girl in only ten days.
Take all the time you need
Don't forget about me
Going through the motions,
Swimming through these oceans
I'm giving you time to figure things out, but I don't want you to forget about me. I still feel like I'm just wading through life, dealing with all the challenges and hardships that come my way.
