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
