The Ocean Lyrics
Tegan and Sara
When you wake what is it that you think of most?
When your bed is empty do you really sleep alone?
If I imagine you, body next to another.
All around me new love and it makes me sad.
All around me feel assured that you'll be back,
If I imagine you, body next to another.
Stop crying to the ocean, stop crying over me.
Stop worrying over nothing, stop worrying over me.
So it's been so long since you said,
Well I know what I want and what I want's right here with you.
On the drive back here I was worrying over nothing.
On the drive back there tears spilling over something.
When I imagine you, body next to another.
In the door and you're there and you're sorry for the fright.
In the door, can I hear you saying you don't wanna fight?
When I imagine you, body next to another.
Stop crying to the ocean, stop crying over me.
Stop worrying over nothing, stop worrying over me.
So it's been so long since you said,
Well I know what I want and what I want's right here with you.
It's been so long since you said,
Well I know what I want and what I want's right here with you.
In a flash it's back to you, just brought attention to the mess.
In a flash you're on top begging me to understand.
If I imagine you, body next to another.
You drop in for a minute and I'm sorry that I didn't drop in sooner
just to see you and see what you've been doin'.
If I imagine you, body next to another.
So it's been so long since you said,
Well I know what I want and what I want's right here with you.
It's been so long since you said,
Well I know what I want and what I want's right here with you.
It's been so long since you said,
Well I know what I want and what I want's right here with you.
It's been so long since you said,
Well I know what I want and what I want's right here with you.
When your bed is empty do you really sleep alone?
If I imagine you, body next to another.
All around me new love and it makes me sad.
All around me feel assured that you'll be back,
If I imagine you, body next to another.
Stop crying to the ocean, stop crying over me.
Stop worrying over nothing, stop worrying over me.
So it's been so long since you said,
Well I know what I want and what I want's right here with you.
On the drive back here I was worrying over nothing.
On the drive back there tears spilling over something.
When I imagine you, body next to another.
In the door and you're there and you're sorry for the fright.
In the door, can I hear you saying you don't wanna fight?
When I imagine you, body next to another.
Stop crying to the ocean, stop crying over me.
Stop worrying over nothing, stop worrying over me.
So it's been so long since you said,
Well I know what I want and what I want's right here with you.
It's been so long since you said,
Well I know what I want and what I want's right here with you.
In a flash it's back to you, just brought attention to the mess.
In a flash you're on top begging me to understand.
If I imagine you, body next to another.
You drop in for a minute and I'm sorry that I didn't drop in sooner
just to see you and see what you've been doin'.
If I imagine you, body next to another.
So it's been so long since you said,
Well I know what I want and what I want's right here with you.
It's been so long since you said,
Well I know what I want and what I want's right here with you.
It's been so long since you said,
Well I know what I want and what I want's right here with you.
It's been so long since you said,
Well I know what I want and what I want's right here with you.
