Oceans Lyrics

[Chorus]
We fell in love
Right by the ocean
Made all our plans
Down on the sand

[Verse 1]
And from the tips of your fingers
Down to the soles of your feet
A glimmer in your skin
That I can't believe
And take a trip to the sea
Let your hair run, run free
You're a rebel in disguise
Is that the devil in your eyes


[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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

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.”
