Ocean Eyes
Music & Lyrics by Tahiti Rey
Music by Jeremiah Gruenberg
“She let the coral of her heart turn to sand in his earth-crashing waves, and she still waited on the shore for him.”
Lyrics
Verse 1
From the moment I saw them
They captured me with force
Like a tide pulling me away from the shore
And I found out so quickly, that my strength alone
Could not keep my head above the waves below
Chorus
I drown in your ocean eyes
And you’ll never know just how far I’d go
If only you’d show me it’s worth the fight
Then I’d drown in your ocean eyes
Verse 2
The horizon sun is setting
And I’m wanting you more
But my fear of the deep
It keeps me ashore
The foaming water washes away our footprints
And all that’s left is your salt on my lips
Chorus
Bridge
My heart breaks loose into the breeze
But your waves are crashing down on me
You make it hard to breathe, you make it hard to breathe
Chorus
