Ocean Waves

Wish I could be watching from shore

Stick my feet in the sand

Not have to fight against the wave

But enjoy the dry land

This isn’t who I knew at first

Help me to understand

Smother me, you try to smother me

Rescue me, someone please rescue me

Chorus:

From California to Carolina

Your ocean waves are crashing down on me

Your ocean waves are crashing down on me

From the northern shore to the southern shore

Your ocean waves are crashing down on me

Your ocean waves are crashing down on me

It takes time for me to step in

To make sure it’s okay

But I found out that there’s a calm

Before the giant wave

You try and move me where you want

Turns out that I won’t sway

Have to breathe, I need some time to breathe

Set me free, let me go and be free

CHORUS

I can’t enjoy the ride

The salt is in my eyes

Pulled in the undertow

Take me back to the shore

Freedom’s at my arm’s length

But I’m losing my strength

I just want to break free

Go on to be happy

CHORUS

Believe it or not, I first had the chorus to these lyrics come to me while at the beach. I then looked for a way to compare the waves to a life situation and this is what came out of it. Have you ever had a relationship to someone who ended up being too controlling or pushy? Did you feel you were being smothered? It might have felt like ocean waves crashing on you.
