To The Ocean
TO THE OCEAN
He set aside a bottle of tears
And threw it to the ocean
He has a box that sits on a desk
Full of doubt and pain and everything
I’ve seen his heart, but he holds back the rest
His soul is still a mystery
And in this box that’s been opened for years are
Shadows of people he could never love
They linger on, but they don’t cause him grief
They’re just there to remind him of
What he wants to say
What he’ll never say
He wants to say
Take me, take me, take me home
Take me, take me, take me home
She has a glass that filled with her fears
It’s old and chipped on the side
Today she’ll breathe for the first time in years
As she stops regretting history
Yeah, she’ll stop regretting history
She’ll say
Take me, take me, take me home
Take me, take me, take me home
Oh it’s a long way to righteousness
And you can’t have it all, no you can’t have it all
No one has taught her how to clean up this mess
Take me, take me, take me home
Take me, take me, take me home
He set aside a bottle of tears
