Only the Ocean Lyrics by Jack Johnson

To the Sea

2010

[Verse 1]
After all this time, after all of these seasons
After your own decision to go to the water for reason
It's only the ocean and you
And all of these lines will all be erased soon
They go out with the tide and come back with the waves, so
It's only the ocean and you

[Chorus]
You don't want, you don't wait
You don't love oh, but you don't hate
You just roll over me
And you pull me in

[Verse 2]
When this work is done and this coat is dry
When this world's too much, it will be
Only the ocean and me
When these sails go up, mountains fade away
Stars come out, I'm finally free
It's only the ocean and me

[Chorus]
You don't want, you don't wait
You don't love oh, but you don't hate
You just roll over me
And you pull me in
And you pull me in
You don't want, you don't wait
You don't love oh, but you don't hate
You just roll right over me
And you pull me in
And you pull me in

[Outro]
You just roll over me
And you pull me in
