Love is like the ocean

You are the rip curl, and I am the curious girl

You can’t know what it’s like to be me, looking at you

All of the words in the world could not begin to construe

How I long to trace your waves with my fingertips

I would swim forever just to taste a kiss from those lips

But I’m only swimming through time

Some days terrified that I have reached the shore; the end of the line

Your currents have drawn me in, and thrown me off track

Drowning in those eyes, and I can’t go back

I never had to work for anyone’s affection

But now I find myself fighting for your attention

So Cloudy Eyes, take another sip and open up your little heart

Tell me what to do to unlock the lock that keeps it dark

I’ve been floating down this river for over a year

I want to be your lover, but you want to be my peer

I will keep on floating, even if the ocean never comes

I’ll float around and blissfully listen to all your theorems

I don’t even know where to begin

But if I don’t, I will live my life regretting that I never jumped in
