Oceans

I want to write oceans deep

I've gotta sound so sincere

I'll surely strike a chord

And you'll make your way here

I wanna write words that move

And make your heart skip beats

And if I can't do that

At least you'll tap your feet



If I were to ask would you be willing

To lay right here and watch the ceiling

And stay up late with me

And then we'd kiss till three

And if I should ask would you be happy

To learn these words and sing them at me

Take my hand and hold

And show me what you know



I gotta be rational

And take my time with this

I'm making god damn sure

There's not a thing I'll miss

I work with a balanced heart

And never with steady hands

When you're around I can't speak

But I know my songs can



If I were to ask would you be willing

To lay right here and watch the ceiling

And stay up late with me

And then we'd kiss till three

And if I should ask would you be happy

To learn these words and sing them at me

Take my hand and hold

And show me what you know



Sleep is for the weak

And baby I can stay the weekend

As long as you're with me

I think maybe we can sleep in



If I were to ask would you be willing

To lay right here and watch the ceiling

And stay up late with me

And then we'd kiss till three

And if I should ask would you be happy

To learn these words and sing them at me

Take my hand and hold

And show me what you know x2



Oceans deep

I've gotta sound so sincere

I'll surely strike a chord

And you'll make your way here

I wanna write words that move

And make your heart skip beats

And if I can't do that

At least you'll tap your feet
