Oceanic Feeling Lyrics

[Intro]

It's a blue day

We could jump or leap

When I hit that water

When it holds me

I think about my father

Doin' the same thing

When he was a boy

When he was a boy

It's a blue day

We could go fishing

You'll catch the big one

Ah



[Verse 1]

Slidin' the knife under the skin

Grateful for this offering

And all the livin' things under the sun

Under the sun



[Verse 2]

Little brother, I think you're an angel

I see your silver chain levitate

When you keep flipping

Baby boy, you're super cool

I know you're scared, so was I

But all will be revealed in time (Time, time)

[Verse 3]

Oh, look, the rays are in the bay now

Can you hear the waves and the cicadas all around?

I can make anything real

Rays so hot, it's a summer body

Every day is blue and never cloudy

Don't look down

I can make anything real



[Verse 4]

In the future

If I have a daughter

Will she have my waist?

Or my widow's peak?

My dreamer's disposition or my wicked streak?



[Verse 5]

Will she swear to die with her lover?

Laugh with the stars like her mother

When she was a girl?

When she was a girl



[Refrain]

Now the cherry black lipstick's gathering dust in a drawer

I don't need her anymore

'Cause I got this power

I just had to breathe (Breathe out, breathe out, breathe out)

And tune in (Tune in, tune in, tune in, tune in)

I just had to breathe (Breathe out, breathe out, breathe out)

And tune in (Tune in, tune in, tune in, tune in)

I just had to breathe

And tune in

I just had to breathe

And tune in

I just had to breathe

[Outro: Lorde & Marlon Williams]

Oh, was enlightenment found?

No, but I'm tryin', takin' it one year at a time

Oh, oh, can you hear the sound?

It's shimmerin' higher

On the beach I'm buildin' a pyre

(Used the wood brought in by the tide)

I know you'll show me how I'll know when it's time to take off my robe and step into the choir
