Blue October - Into The Ocean Lyrics

I'm just a normal boy that sank when I fell overboard
My ship would leave the country, but I'd rather swim ashore.
Without a life-vest I'd be stuck again.
Wish I was much more masculine.
Maybe then I could learn to swim like,
Fourteen miles away.

Now floating up and down
I spin colliding into sound.
Like whales beneath me diving down.
I'm sinking to the bottom of my everything.
That freaks me out.
The lighthouse beam has just run out.
I'm cold, as cold, as cold can be...be *sigh*

I wanna swim away but don't know how.
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean.
Let the waves up; take me down.
Let the hurricane set in motion, yea.
Let the rain of what I feel right now come down.
Let the rain come down.

Where is the coast guard?
I keep looking each direction for a spotlight; give me something.
I need something for protection.
Maybe Flotsam jump will do just fine...
The Jetsam sunk I'm left behind.
I'm treading for my life, believe me.
How can I keep up this breathing?
Not knowing how to think I scream aloud, begin to sink.
My legs and arms are broken down
With envy for the solid ground.
I'm reaching for the life within me.
How can one man stop his ending?
I thought of just your face...
Relaxed and floated into space.

I wanna swim away but don't know how.
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean.
Let the waves up; take me down.
Let the hurricane set in motion, yea.
Let the rain of what I feel right now come down.
Let the rain come down.

Now, waking to the sun I calculate what I had done.
Like jumping from the bow, yea, just to prove that I knew how, yea.
Its Midnight's late reminder of the loss of her; the one I love.
My will to quickly end it all
Sat front row in my need to fall.

Into the ocean end it all... (x4)

Into the ocean end it all...
(goodbye) (goodbye)
Into the ocean end it all...
(goodbye) (goodbye)
Into the ocean end it all...
(goodbye) (goodbye)

I wanna swim away but don't know how.
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean.
Let the waves up; take me down.
Let the hurricane set in motion, yea.
Let the rain of what I feel right now come down.
Let the rain come down.

Into Space...

Into the ocean end it all...
(goodbye) (goodbye)
Into the ocean end it all...
(goodbye) (goodbye)
Into the ocean end it all...
(goodbye) (goodbye)
Into the ocean end it all...
(goodbye) (goodbye)
Into the ocean end it all...
(goodbye) (goodbye)

I thought of just your face.

*whispered*
(Into the ocean end it all x4)]
