I want to love a boy the way I love the ocean
Wish I was not afraid of all I have that's broken
I know I must behave to contain all my emotion
But I want to love a boy the way I love the ocean
Like a hidden cave, I am always open
I hold the space you made, I'm empty, but still hoping
I have a feeling, a terrible fear encroaching
That I'll never love a boy the way I love the ocean
I ask why it's better to speak than it is to die
One more try, it's better to laugh than it is to lie
I thought I had a man, someone who could hold me
But nobody can, I wish someone had told me
I was born yesterday, and I'm still wet, still soaking
And I want to love a boy the way I love the ocean
The way I love the ocean
The way I love the ocean
