Open Ocean

So he was a boat and she was the ocean
And that night she was filled with emotion
Lost at last he poured off steam
It was the worst storm that he had ever seen

And he can't quite turn it around
He can't quite turn it around
He can't quite turn it around
No, he can't quite turn it around

And out here on the open ocean where
Feet get wet and hearts get broken and
Get in line, your ship will sink
Water wins every time

And out here on the open sea there's no need to follow me
Get in line, your ship will sink
Water wins every time

Somewhere between starlight and bar light
Heaven and hell
There's the things that you make for love and the things that you sell
Love it or leave it but you better make way
The things inside you
Are gonna get out someday

But you can't quite turn it around
You can't quite turn it around
You can't quite turn it around
No, you can't quite turn it around

And out here on the open ocean where
Feet get wet and hearts get broken and
Get in line, your ship will sink
Water wins every time

And out here on the open sea there's no need to follow me
Get in line, your ship will sink
Water wins every time

So when all the things you thought you knew and diamonds turn to glass
And the terraces that you hang from are never gonna to last and the winds of change may blow you off your path
And you'll find that your ship's cargo is all you have

And out here on the open ocean
And water wins every time

I get the bends
I get the bends
When I come up like this
And water wins every time
I get the bends
I get the bends
When I come up like this
And water wins every time
I get the bends
I get the bends
When I come up like this
And water wins every time
