[Verse 1]
I fell in love by the sea
The world was on fire around me
I met the girl of my dreams
But she doesn't believe me
I fell in love by the sea
She had her wings of desire around me
Now I don't know what to believe
'Cause she keeps on testing me
[Chorus]
She says, "Don't play that game with my heart
And don't say it's love if it's not
(Not, not, not)"
[Verse 2]
I fell in love by the sea
Oh, that girl has a power over mе
My heart burned a thousand degrees
Whеn she told me she was leaving (Oh, she went away)
I left my heart on the beach
No, in love there are no guarantees
So, I learned to let it be
But I still hear her in my dreams
[Chorus]
She says, "Don't play that game with my heart
And don't say it's love if it's not
(Not, not, not)"
[Bridge]
And I think of her, and I think of her
And I think of her, and I think of her
And I think of her, and I think of her
And I think of her whenever I look at the sea
(And I think of her)
[Chorus]
She says, "Don't play that game with my heart
And don't say it's love if it's not
(Not, not, not)"
The Sea was written by Romy & Fred again...

The lyrics for ‘The Sea’ are inspired by a trip to Ibiza. Or my vision of what it would have been like in the early 2000s—the dream of Ibiza. I went for the first time for Oliver’s [Sim, The xx bandmate] 30th birthday. We went out clubbing and we went on a boat and it was exactly what I had hoped it...
