lyrics

Since we are mostly ocean
I was hoping that you'd be open
to me

Since we are mostly ocean
salt and water, thin skin holding on
I don't feel like holding on

Since we are mostly ocean
salt and water, thin skin holding on
I know that we'll survive the storm

What are we but grains of sand
in this endless sea,
slipping out of your hands
and you fold them like a fist
you blow them like a kiss
but it's still the time that takes its
toll into the sea
me as, Can you see me as?

Can you see me as?
mostly ocean
salt and water, thin skin holding on

Since we are mostly ocean
I was hoping that you'd be open
to me

Since we are mostly ocean
You know that, I know that and we know that
You know that, and I know that and we know that

Only the polyester will last
but this love isn't made of that
lover, don't be mad
when you see me as I am

Only the plastic packages last
but lover that's not what you have
lover, don't be mad
when you see me as I am

I am, I am, I am.
