Stop the Ocean Lyrics by Jon Fuller

The Art of Denial

2018

[Verse]
There's a lighthouse on that clifftop, there
Built too high to be seen
'Cause every time the fog rolls in
The clouds obscure the beam
There's a cave inside that rock face, there
Can't stay too long inside
'Cause twice a day, like clockwork
It gets flooded with the tide

​[Chorus]
No matter how you try
You can't stop the ocean
It can't hear you cry
It won't keep you from drowning
And now you and I are caught in a riptide
Just you and I

[Verse]
There's a line of demarcation, there
Down the center of our bed
Wasn't something that we did
Wasn't something that we said
There's a restlessness in my heart, there
That I just can't keep still
I never could explain it
And I guess I never will

[Chorus]
And to think we tried to stop the ocean
It didn't hear me cry
It didn't keep me from drowning
And now you and I, torn apart by that riptide
Just you and I

[Bridge]
Woah, woah
Woah, woah

[Verse]
There's a star on the horizon, there
That I've never seen before
And if we keep it in our sights
Maybe we'll make it back to shore

[Chorus]
So put your hand in mine
And we'll brave the ocean
And with love and time
We might start believing
It's just you and I on a tide that's on our side
Just you and I
It's just you and I
