about

re: ownership or lack thereof

lyrics

bought a house on the ocean
where the ocean breeze is
and when the snow falls in minnesota
my ocean never freezes
my waves fall on my shoreline
my sand's between my toes
and i'm just glad this ocean's all mine
and no one has to know

that

i want to
come clean to you
but i'm just on the ocean floor
this ocean
is all mine
but you aren't anymore
no you aren't anymore

and i'll just sit here under my sky
find something to read
it's funny when you have it all
there's still so much you need
but the sand begins to erode
the tide is coming in
and i'm left with this old sailboat
and not a single gust of wind

no

i want to
come clean to you
but i'm just on the ocean floor
this ocean
is all mine
but you aren't anymore
no you aren't anymore

i have to go
i want to stay
the anchor's dragging me away
i have to go
but leave you here
you'll find your sail
when the fog clears

and you find it

want a house on the ocean
where the ocean breeze is
but i'm back in minnesota
where all i'll ever need is

i want to
come clean to you
but i'm just on the ocean floor
this ocean
is all mine
but you aren't anymore
no you aren't
anymore
