When the Ocean Rises Lyrics

I spend my nights staring at the clock, wishing that time would stop,

And life seems to pass me by so quickly,

All I can do is stand back and watch

Thought if I drew a line, told them I was fine, this wouldn't feel like a crime.

Hid in the dark, stood at a distance,

And watched all of my open doors shut.

If I could do it all again,

Take back the years I wasted and make myself into something great,

Then maybe I would feel okay with who I am.

And when the ocean rises and sweeps me away into the sea,

There'll be a million and one regrets weighing down on me.

And as the light is fading on everything that could have been,

there's so much I would change but I don't get a repeat, no.

Your eyes had wondered off, every promise lost, invisible lines had been crossed.

My heart had grown cold from your indifference,

But to utter the truth was just too much.

Now when I go to sleep, I see you in my dreams, and you're screaming at me.

"How could you leave after all we've been through?",

And I finally see I need to wake up.

If I could do it all again,

Take back the years I wasted and make myself into something great,

Then maybe I would feel okay with who I am.

And when the ocean rises and sweeps me away into the sea,

There'll be a million and one regrets weighing down on me.

And as the light is fading on everything that could have been,

there's so much I would change but I don't get a repeat, no.

If I could do it all again,

I'd tell you all the things I know now.

But I've still got a lot to learn,

and I can't change the past so I've got to move forward.

And when the ocean rises and sweeps me away into the sea,

There'll be a million and one regrets weighing down on me.

And as the light is fading on everything that could have been,

there's so much I would change but I don't get a repeat, no.
