i grew up by the ocean
i have salt water in my veins

I've never been scared of waves
or drowning

i met a boy
by the ocean
who pulled me in like the waves
swirled me around and danced with me for a while

and pushed me back out with the current
when something new came along


it was the wrong time or the wrong place or something
but i let it happen

because I've never been scared of waves
or drowning

i met a boy
by the ocean
who i loved
who left

and i am now scared of waves
and drowning

i made the mountains my new home
and I'm not afraid of heights

i thought you were the one
