Like the Sea Lyrics

Love is like the sea
Leaves you on your knees
Feel it pull you in
Then it takes you, takes you
Over, over

Love is like the sea
Leaves you on your knees
First you're floatin' high
Then it takes you, takes you
Under, under

Well, it's cold
Cold under water
In the night time
But I dove
Dove to the bottom
To see what I'd find

That's when I saw a light
A glowing paradise
Thought I'd stay a while
It's been calling me underwater
Try, everything that I ever dream

Taking my breath away (ayy)
Currents got hold of me
Sweeping me away
Wish that I could stay
Takes me to the top
It's the cycle that never stops

Love is like the sea
Leaves on your knees
Feel it pull you in
Then it takes you, takes you
Over, over
Love is like the sea
Leaves you on your knees
First you're floatin' high
Then it takes you, takes you
Under, under

(Takes you, takes you over)
(Takes you, takes you under)
(Takes you, takes you over) over
(Takes you, takes you under)

Sing, I been told
Told you only find it once in a lifetime
So you better hold
Hold on stronger then ever
Like it's the last time

So when you see the light
Like a ship in the night
You have found the place
You've been looking for
Like a distant shore
Don't you ever look back again

Here's something you should know (know)
Sea is still in control
Cherish everyday
'Cause you never know
It can take away
The very thing you love the most

Love is like the sea
Leaves on your knees
Feel it pull you in
Then it takes you, takes you
Over, over
Love is like the sea
Leaves you on your knees
First you're floatin' high
Then it takes, you takes you
Under, under

(Takes you, takes you over)
Oh
Takes you, takes you under) so far
(Takes you, takes you over)
(Takes you, takes you under) this is love like the sea, yeah
(Takes you, takes you over)
(Takes you takes you under)
Can you feel the pull?
(Takes you, takes you over)
It's calling you
(Takes you, takes you under) come on

Love is like the sea
Leaves you on your knees
Feel it pull you in (if you ever felt this way)
Then it takes you, takes you
Over, over (then you know)
Love is like the sea
Leaves you on your knees
First you're floatin' high (oh, get down on your knees)
Then it takes you takes you
Under, under (take me away)
