Ocean Deep
William Hung Lyrics

Love
The artist is in search of love and companionship

Can't you see I'm alone
The artist is feeling isolated in his pursuit of love

Can't you give this fool a chance
The artist is asking for a chance at love, regardless of his perceived foolishness

A little love
The artist is not asking for much, just a small amount of love and affection

Is all I ask
The artist is not expecting much from his potential lover

A little kindness in the night
The artist would like his potential lover to show him love and kindness in the evening

Please don't leave me behind
The artist is afraid of being left out, specifically in the context of love

No don't tell me love is blind
The artist is asking the listener to not use the cliché, 'love is blind'

And that is all
The artist is summarizing his request for love

Oh love
The artist is calling out to a potential lover

I've been searching so long
The artist has been on a quest for love for a prolonged period of time

I've been searching high and low
The artist has searched everywhere for love

A little sadness when you're gone
The artist would miss his potential lover when they are apart

Maybe you need a friend
The artist is offering to be a friend and also hoping for something more

Only please don't let's pretend
The artist is hoping for genuine feelings between himself and his potential lover, not just pretending to care

And that is all
The artist is emphasizing that his request for love is not grandiose

I wanna spread my wings
The artist wants to explore his potential and live freely

But I just can't fly
The artist is inhibited in his exploration by the absence of a lover

As string of pearl
The artist is envious of others who have found love

And pretty girls
The artist is particularly envious of women who have found love

Go sailing by
The artist feels left behind, as others are moving on with their lives

Ocean deep
The artist's feeling of sadness and need for love is vast, like the ocean

I'm so afraid to show my feelings
The artist is scared to reveal his emotions and vulnerability to a potential lover

I have sailed a million ceilings
The artist has been through many hardships and has seen the metaphorical 'ceiling' of many failed relationships

Solitary room
The artist is alone, possibly in his own room

Will I ever find a lover
The artist is questioning his ability to find love

Maybe she has found another
The artist fears that his potential lover has moved on and found someone else

As I cry myself to sleep
The artist is heartbroken and sad at night, before he goes to sleep

I know this love of mine
The artist is certain of his love and emotions

I'll keep
The artist will hold onto his love, despite the challenges and sadness he faces

Can't you hear when I call
The artist is asking his potential lover to pay attention to him

Can't you hear a word I say
The artist is frustrated that his communication to his potential lover is not being listened to

A little feeling when we touch
The artist desires an emotional connection with his potential lover

Why am I still alone
The artist is confused and saddened by his continued loneliness

I've got a heart without a home
The artist's heart is longing for a home and a place to belong (i.e. with a lover)

So hard for me to say it
The artist is struggling to express his feelings to his potential lover

You're the only one I love
The artist has strong feelings of love for his potential lover

Just can't revel it
The artist is unable to completely express his love to his potential lover
