Ocean

Could you ever look at me
The way you're looking at the ocean
All wounded in your smile, but holy and unriled
Could you ever look at me

Could you ever look at me
The way you're looking at the sunrise
How it settles on your face, whole and unafraid
Like the light of your world

And I don't know how
To chase away the fear I have inside me
And I don't know where it is you go
When you drift away, when you drift away

Could you ever look at me
The way you're looking at the ocean
Could you give to me that smile, if only for a while
Could you ever look at me

I don't know how
To find a way to keep you here beside me
And I don't know where it is you go
But it's beautiful to me, so beautiful to see

I hope you never look at me
The way you're looking at the ocean
'Cause in the sunrise I have seen I was never meant to be
The light of your world

Take me to the desert
You will be the water
I will drink forever to fill my soul

Lead me through the fire
Of darkness and desire
You will be my shelter
You will be my shelter

I'll find you there, I'll find you there

It's here that I call out
It's here that I fall down
It's here that I find out
That you are everything I hoped you'd be

Take me to the river
Lead me to the healer
Let it wash me over, oh my soul

And take me to the mountain
Lead me to the altar
We will build together
And I will remember

I found you there, I found you there

It's here that I call out
It's here that I fall down
It's here that I find out
That you are everything,
It's here that I call out
It's here that I fall down
It's here that I find out
That you are everything I hoped you'd be

The sun that always shines
I hoped you'd be the everlasting life

It's here that I call out
It's here that I fall down
It's here that I find out
That you are everything,
It's here that I call out
It's here that I fall down
It's here that I find out
That you are everything I hoped you'd be
I hoped you'd be
I hoped you'd be
I hoped you'd be

Find me, where you can find me
So tired of hiding behind these songs
And take me where you will take me
Back to a place I've known all along

The voice that calms the waves, sing out
And call my name

Sing over me, sing over me
Sing above the noise that I've been making
And sing over me, sing over me
All I ever needed was to hear your melody
All I ever needed was to hear your melody

Wake me, come on and wake me
So tired of living like I'm asleep
And hold me the way you hold me
How you unfold all this unbelief

The voice that calms the waves, sing out
And call my name

And sing over me, sing over me
Sing away the silence that is breaking
Sing over me, sing over me
All I ever needed was to hear your melody
All I ever needed was to hear your melody

Sing out, sing out, sing out my love
Sing out, sing out, sing out my love
And sing out, sing out, sing out my love

And sing over me, sing over me
Sing away the silence that is breaking
Sing over me, sing over me
All I ever needed was to hear your melody
All I ever needed was to hear your melody

And sing over me, sing over me
Sing away the silence that is breaking
Sing over me, sing over me
All I ever needed was to hear your melody
All I ever needed was to hear your melody

And all I ever wanted was to be your melody
Sing, sing out my love
Sing

I never got anywhere by running away
I never learned anything without a mistake
I never loved anyone by playing it safe
It's a long way down, but I'm here right now, so

Here goes nothing, here goes everything
Gotta reach for something or you'll fall for anything
Take a breath, take a step, what comes next God only knows
But here goes

I don't wanna turn around and wonder what happened
Never lost and never found are one in the same
I wanna run across the battle lines and take my chances
Not the long way 'round, when I'm here right now, so

Here goes nothing, here goes everything
Gotta reach for something or you'll fall for anything
Take a breath, take a step, what comes next God only knows
But here goes

And what good is chance not taken
And what good is life not living
And what good is love not given

Here goes nothing, here goes everything
Gotta reach for something or you'll fall for anything
Here goes nothing, here goes everything
Gotta reach for something or you'll fall for anything
Take a breath, take a step, what comes next God only knows
But here goes
Yeah God only knows
But here goes

It's as if you could find me anywhere
That I could go, to try to hide my thoughts from you
But just like some runaway I'm leaving here
With half a mind that hopes, of getting caught
So we can just drive home in the dark where we'll let our, our feelings fly
They'll cut like shame to break me down again
Until there's nothing left but for me to tell you I'm sorry

But I don't wanna go home now
Stuck here in the middle alone now
Everybody's singing their song now
But I'm still reeling

I'm not trying to run away from
This beautiful life I've been given
I'm not looking for freedom
Maybe just a little meaning here in the middle

It's as if there's a world uncovered by
The break of day all these miles away but for a better view
Of what's left in the aftermath of all these years
It's just so hard to know who I am in you

So I don't wanna go home now
Stuck here in the middle alone now
Everybody's singing their song now
But I'm not ready for this

I'm not trying to run away from
This beautiful life I've been given
I'm not looking for freedom
Maybe just a little meaning here in the middle

Alright, everybody says I'll be alright
Everybody says it's a good fight
I'm not seeing it now
All I know is I swear this
It feels a little more like a secret
And I don't know if I should just keep it
To myself, but my Love, my Love

So I don't wanna go home now
Stuck here in the middle alone now
Everybody's singing their song now
But I'm not ready for this

I'm not trying to run away from
This beautiful life I've been given
I'm not looking for freedom
Maybe just a little meaning here in the middle
Here in the middle
Here in the middle
Here in the middle
Yeah
Here in the middle
