I Saw The Ocean

Do you ever dream out loud
And try to find a place in time where no one is allowed

And when the people stop and stare
Do you turn around acknowledge them or act like no one’s there

Cause you are not who they think you are
They will never know your heart
And you are not what they say you are
You’re so much brighter than a fallen star

As the party’s winding down
We take the corner booth and spin our truths about this burnout

And on that lonely bus ride home
You speak loud enough for all of us to know you’re not alone

Chorus

If I take the time to find
The person that is deep within those fragile frozen eyes

And if that person looks like me
Would I lead me out to safety or would I turn the other cheek

Cause you are not who they think you are
They will never know your heart
And you are not what they say you are
You’re so much brighter than a fallen star
And you’re perfect just the way you are

When you’re down in the dumps
You need a pick me up
Reach down inside your pocket to pull out
A better change of luck

When you carry a crutch
Broken, sick and dumbstruck
Look out the window at the new day dawning
And climb out of your rut

I can feel the sunshine
Falling down on my
I’m standing in the limelight
With a crowd at my feet

With the pressure to win
Living like a whirlwind
You make a mountain of a mole hill and you
Go and climb it again

They’ll single you out
While you’re down for the count
You’ll drive a demolition derby
If that’s what it’s gonna take

I’ve never flown this high before
I’ve never burned so bright
I see my shadow on the floor
While I’m reaching toward the light

So here we stand
Perched on a feather
And you hold my hand
As i climb another mile

On the tip of my tongue
I promise forever
But the words go unsung
As i sink into denial

Is this real or am I dreaming
Are we here or am I dreaming

On the back of the plane
We plot out our future
With a map to the stars
And a promise to receive

So I follow your lead
But the vapor trail’s fading
And we march toward the sun
To a place we’ve already been
