‘Oceans’ is a song written about a love that is inevitably falling apart. Despite the feelings that the artist may have for his partner, he acknowledges they cannot continue.
The artist is torn between staying in the relationship and leaving, due to the pain it is going to cause him either way.
This...
The whole damn sea could never hold you and me
The whole damn sea could never hold you and me
The whole damn sea could never hold you and me
The whole damn sea could never hold you and me
The whole damn sea could never hold you and me
The whole damn sea could never hold you and me
Don't go far into the forest
You might get swallowed by the leaves
Start, let our hearts race for hours
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
The ship has sailed, oh the ship has sailed
The ship has sailed, oh the ship has sailed
The ship has sailed, oh the ship has sailed
The ship has sailed, oh the ship has sailed
Don't go far into the forest
You might get swallowed by the leaves
Start, let our hearts race for hours
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
The ship has sailed, we will not reach the shore now
Though we gave it all we got, never knew the love was lost
Where the kin tide come and the moon door, oh ?
And you can't leave me, cause you have seen me
For the first time in your whole life
For the first time in your whole life
