Ocean of Tears Lyrics

This is gonna be torture
Before it's sublime
Does that make it crazy?
Cash in all of my courage
Before you're all mine
Does that make it crazy?

Oh my god, I wanna know what it feels like
To pull you close and tangle up with you real tight
The only thing that's separating you and me tonight
Ah, is an ocean of tears

Oh my god, I wanna know what it feels like
Just an inch away from living a dream life
The only thing that's separating you and me tonight
Ah, is an ocean of tears

Show me the future
Yeah, I'm all eyes
Tell me you're ready (I'm ready)
Pulse is rising and racing and racing and racing but it's a long ride
Tell me you're ready

Oh my god, I wanna know what it feels like
To pull you close and tangle up with you real tight
The only thing that's separating you and me tonight
Ah, is an ocean of tears

Oh my god, I wanna know what it feels like
Just an inch away from living a dream life
The only thing that's separating you and me tonight
Ah, is an ocean of tears

(Someone stop me, I'm going down)
(Someone stop me, I'm going down)

Show me the future
Yeah, I'm all eyes
