How Do You Build An Ocean Lyrics by Asha Jefferies

Hold Yourself Together

2019

[Verse 1]
How do you build an ocean?
From the palms of your hands and a block of steel
How do you build an ocean?
Mama always told ya to make what you feel
But now it's hard, the days are long
You don’t how to feel or who you'll become
And there's a sense, of impotence
To manufacture love without giving in
You tried to build me an ocean, but I could smell a man made soul
You can’t build love like that
You can't choose who you adore
[Chorus]
Would you marvel at the light?
You always thought I've tried too hard despite
Your grip on everything let go of it, let go of it
Could you let it flood through your heart, through your blood?
You can't build an ocean, you can't force love
[Bridge]
Hold your peace, I'll put Johnny Mathis' sweet surrеnder on repeat
Causе now it's time to leave, unless we’ll keep on suffering my dear
Oh now it’s time to lose the fear
[Chorus]
Would you marvel at the light?
You always thought I've tried too hard despite
Your grip on everything let go of it, let go of it
Could you let it flood through your heart, through your blood?
You can’t build an ocean
You can't build an ocean
You can't build an ocean
You can't force love
