[Chorus] We fell in love Right by the ocean Made all our plans Down on the sand We fell in love Right by the ocean Made all our plans Down on the sand
[Verse 2] Wider smiles than I've ever seen Your little arms hug your body This is more than I can take You're the fruit that I can taste You only seek what you give away You'll only speak what you wanna say You ululate like a warrior I'll make you shake like your bed, girl
[Chorus] We fell in love Right by the ocean Made all our plans Down on the sand We fell in love Right by the ocean Made all our plans Down on the sand
[Bridge] This is our garden, girl We live in a fractured world Willing to be the same Same as it always was We're in a rapture, girl We live in a lonely world Willing to be the same Same as it always was
[Chorus] We fell in love Right by the ocean Made all our plans Down on the sand We fell in love Right by the ocean Made all our plans Down on the sand

Oceans is about the “delicate moments and eccentricities that allow you to fall for someone.”
Being the first track on their debut album, Coasts wanted to make a lasting impact on the listener – and that’s the reason for the song beginning with a soloed vocal. On their guide to the album they explain:
“We wanted the first track on the album to have an immediate impact and with Oceans beginning with a soloed vocal we thought that it was a bold statement to make.”
