Is like the distance between being at shore and going out to sea
Its how i’ll always go back to you like the boat goes out to sea
You’ll push and push and push me away
Yet i’ll stay and stay and stay until you feel okay
You’ll push me away and i’ll stay here
Like the waves push the shells away
They’ll stay there no matter how hard you push them away
Or the way the seaweed gets tangled around your foot
Is the way I get tangled in your love
The way the sunset sets and is breath taking and beautiful Is what describes you
Or how the smell of coconuts reminds me of you
The way the wind blows so gentle Is how you were with me
The ocean will always be a reminder of us and how we used to be
