In This Ocean

I cannot escape
The thoughts of you,
Emotions that I thought I'd left behind
With my memories locked away

But here they are, exposed
And I'm laid out and wondering
What I've buried in my mind
With my hidden thoughts of you

In this ocean I am drifting far away

When I can feel and life is real
It's always when remembering then
I'm locked in time
I can't escape
I've run so far and found no place
That I can be completely free
Without the chain of what remains
Another time
Another place
And memories that I can face

Always I'm delayed
And thinking of the many things
I wish that I could say
But my words get tied up
And you've gone on so well
So why am I still lingering on?
Why am I still here
With my hidden thoughts of you

In this ocean I am drifting far away

When I can feel and life is real
It's always when remembering then
I'm locked in time
I can't escape
I've run so far and found no place
That I can be completely free
Without the chain of what remains
Another time
Another place
And memories that I can face
