I Saw The Ocean

Dear self, I’ve met someone new
And I wanted to be the first, to deliver the news

This sort of thing is never easy to say
So please I beg you don’t take it the wrong way
Dear self, I think that we’ll be better off as friends
Dear self, it’s not you it’s all me
I wasn’t trying to find someone else, they found me

Its a surprise that just came out of the blue
This doesn’t mean that our relationship’s through
Dear self, I think that we’ll be better off as friends
We’ve always been,
And I hope that doesn’t have to change
From time to time, let’s still check in,
So we can catch up on things
Dear self, I said I’ve met someone new
And I’m trying to be upfront, and just tell you the truth

This is in no way a personal attack
I really wanna keep our friendship in tact

Some might swear by first impressions
While others claim love at first site
Not really sure what this falls under
I only know that I’ve got to try

To get to know this stranger better
And understand what goes on inside

Why can’t I stop thinking about her
Why can’t I stop thinking about her

No matter what this all amounts to
She needs to know she’s a sparkling light
An inspiration and a breath of fresh air
A shining star and perfect summer night

I’m well aware that we’ve only just met
But she’s someone that I can’t forget

Why can’t I stop thinking about her
Why can’t I stop thinking about her

I only hope I can give back in return
A fraction of the spark she’s given me

Verse C, Em, Dm, F
Pre chorus D, Em, F, G
Chorus C, Em, Dm, G

I wasn’t looking for a second chance
I wasn’t interested in new romance
It just happened to me, yeah
It stumbled into me, yeah

Some people wish that they could turn back time
But I’m not the type that even bothers to try
Would it change anything, yeah
What would the outcome bring, yeah

And now I can’t believe
It happened this way
You were a moment to late, a moment too late
This isn’t easy to say
And so hard to explain
You were a moment to late, a moment too late
And I can’t believe it happened this way
You were a moment too late
I’d gotten comfortable with being alone
I had no problem spending time on my own
It just came naturally, yeah
Was not a problem for me, yeah

A life can change in the blink of an eye
The storm might come before you make it inside
You gotta roll with the tide, yeah
You might not understand why, yeah
