Ocean Lyrics by Adam Newling

Dorothy Painted Portraits

2023

[Verse 1]
An ocean is the sidewalk between us
Where no one holds hands or colours in any numbers
Illiterate lips circling like vultures
I'm a drunk to a drink
I’m spread across the pavement
[Chorus]
I know you never learnt to swim
But don't be scared of the water
I know that there's a chance you’ll sink
But don't you just want to fall in?
[Verse 2]
An ocean is a slap to all your senses
A rhythmless pit, filled with shitty dancers
The skin on your wrist, you're carving to cure anger
Making spears out of sticks
When all of your thoughts are dangerous
[Chorus]
I know you never lеarnt to swim
But don't be scared of the watеr
I know that there's a chance you'll sink
But don't you just want to fall in?
I know you never learnt to swim
But don't be scared of the water
I know that there’s a chance you’ll sink
But don't you just want to fall in?
[Verse 3]
An ocean is the size of your old bedroom
It’s hard to exist when you think no one wants you
You give and you tear
Now it's burning when your breathing
If you can't concentrate
But believe me when I'm saying
[Chorus]
I know you never learnt to swim
But don’t be scared of the water
I know that there's a chance you'll sink
But don't you just want to fall in?
I know you never learnt to swim
But don't be scared of the water
I know that there's a chance you'll sink
But don't you just want to fall in?
I know you never learnt to swim
But don't be scared of the water
I know that there's a chance you'll sink
But don't you just want to fall in?
I know you never learnt to swim
But don't be scared of the water
I know that there's a chance you'll sink
But don't you just want to fall in?
