In This Ocean

I cannot escape

The thoughts of you,

Emotions that I thought I’d left behind

With my memories locked away

But here they are, exposed

And I’m laid out and wondering

What I’ve buried in my mind

With my hidden thoughts of you

In this ocean I am drifting far away

When I can feel and life is real

It’s always when remembering then

I’m locked in time

I can’t escape

I’ve run so far and found no place

That I can be completely free

Without the chain of what remains

Another time

Another place

And memories that I can face

Always I’m delayed

And thinking of the many things

I wish that I could say

But my words get tied up

And you’ve gone on so well

So why am I still lingering on?

Why am I still here

With my hidden thoughts of you

In this ocean I am drifting far away

When I can feel and life is real

It’s always when remembering then

I’m locked in time

I can’t escape

I’ve run so far and found no place

That I can be completely free

Without the chain of what remains

Another time

Another place

And memories that I can face
