You push and turn I keep running in the dirt chasing your mind always behind And my song goes on but you're always my concern Stealing my mind Stoping my time CHORUS There was a bottle in the ocean a bottle in ocean A letter of devotion I threw in the ebb that night to leave this mess behind From the ashes you appeared I stood still as you got near It was the year I disappeared in the ocean of your watered eyes And now we're drowning in our darkened nights We've got past and dones and gods above to match But what can I do with you? We will always be out of tune Chasing our faults like sinners gone wrong You will never forgive my songs And I don't dare to sing along I've got them deep inside of me Buried in this dark, blue sea Can't you see you're choking me? There was a bottle in the ocean a bottle in ocean A letter of devotion I threw in the ebb that night To leave this mess behind From the ashes you appeared I stood still as you got near It was the year I disappeared In the ocean of your watered eyes And now we're drowning in our darkened nights
