“Ocean” is a surreal, hope-tinged collaboration between EDM producers Seven Lions and Jason Ross, featuring Jonathan Mendelsohn’s smooth vocals. As the electronic duo unite over dreamy melodic dubstep drops, Jonathan Mendelsohn sings about becoming disillusioned with love.
[Verse]
Here I stay (Here I stay)
Waiting for the tide to turn to sail away (Sail away)
On these breaking waves of hurt I try to leave (Try to leave)
Behind this savage world, maybe someday I'll return (I'll return)
Patiently (Patiently), you wait for me on the shore, thinking time (Thinking time)
Is all I'll need to give you more
But guarantees, I cannot give you, no
'Cause I'm a shipwreck sinking slow
[Pre-Chorus]

So now I hide my heart
Far beneath the waves, at the bottom of the ocean
If only I could give to you
What's buried 'neath the blue of this ocean

'Cause I've been torn apart
By what I thought was love but it left me broken
So now I hide my heart
Far beneath the waves, at the bottom of the ocean
If only I could give to you
What's buried 'neath the blue of this ocean
[Drop]
[Outro]
At the bottom of this ocean
