Lady Antebellum - Ocean

Good Wednesday Morning my RP Brothers and Sisters!!!

I have a few minutes before I start my shift at my son's IT company, and I found a great brand new song by Lady Antebellum titled simply "Ocean"... A beautiful Country Music song and somewhat of a tear jerker, but is the song I have chosen for my Early Wednesday Morning Music Interlude!

Background detail:

"The best way to describe the premise of this song is as the word “ocean” – and all of the associated imagery it entails – being a metaphor for the singer’s relationship with her lover. Thus when she makes a statement like she’s “not afraid to drown”, such points to the idea of Hillary Scott, Lady Antebellum’s lead singer, casting fear aside to commit herself wholeheartedly to the addressee, i.e. her romantic interest.

And from the looks of things their relationship has its fair share of challenges, which she refers to as “waves”. But for the most part, the primary sentiment she is expressing throughout is one which, succinctly put, she is in love. And just as she is ready to give her all to making her union with the addressee a lasting one, she likewise desires him to display a similar level of commitment."

LYRICS - "OCEAN" By Lady Antebellum

How can someone stand so damn close
And feel like they're worlds away?
I can see your sad story eyes
So how do you have no words to say?
All I want is to fall in deeper
Than I've ever been
Why won't you let me?
I can handle your heart, so help me

Chorus:
Here you are, next to me
So much beauty at my feet
All I wanna do is swim
But the waves keep crashin' in
No, I'm not afraid to drown
Take me out, take me down
I'm so tired of the shore
Let me in, baby
You're an ocean beautiful and blue
I wanna swim in you

Verse 2
Like a lighthouse I've been shinin' bright
Through the dark for the both of us
And "I've done it outta love" is not enough
But God, how I wish it was
And I don't wanna find out
How much lonely I can take before you lose me
Baby, look at me and swear you won't lose me

Chorus:
Here you are, next to me
So much beauty at my feet
All I wanna do is swim
But the waves keep crashin' in
No, I'm not afraid to drown
Take me out, take me down
I'm so tired of the shore
Let me in, baby
You're an ocean beautiful and blue
I wanna swim in you

Bridge:
I can't let it go
From moments in your arms
But they come back again
The waves, the waves, the waves, the waves
The waves, the waves, the waves, the waves

Chorus:
Here you are, next to me
So much beauty at my feet
All I wanna do is swim
But the waves keep crashin' in
No, I'm not afraid to drown
Take me out, take me down
I'm so tired of the shore
Let me in, baby
You're an ocean beautiful and blue
I wanna swim in you
