[Verse 1]
The rain always ends up back in the river again
Oh innocence is sometimes thrown into the lions den
But I've made it this far as I lay in your arms
Lost as an island, a casualty of silence
It's killing me

[Chorus]
I don't mean to be a bother but I was pondering if you'd cross an ocean for me
‘cause I just really need to know If this is love or are we simply sharing air to breathe
(ohohoh uhuhuhuh)
When the waves get rough will you be here when I wake up
When the waves get rough will you be here when I wake up

[Verse 2]
I fall asleep to lullabies built of thunder
Peace settles in but then my mind plays the hunter
Thoughts pile up till their mountain tops
Pulling me along till I'm a little lost
It's killing me

[Chorus]
I don’t mean to be a bother but I was pondering If you’d cross an ocean for me
‘cause I just really need to know If this is love or are we simply sharing air to breathe
(ohohoh uhuhuhuh)
When the waves get rough will you be here
When I wake up
When the waves get rough will you be here
When I wake up

[Verse 3]
Here I stand in front of you
It’s little overdue but
Asking for a simple truth
Here i stand in front of you
It’s little overdue
Asking for a simple truth

[Chorus]
I don’t mean to be a bother but I was pondering if you’d cross an ocean for me
‘cause I just really need to know if this is love or are we simply sharing air to breathe
(ohohoh uhuhuhuh)
When the waves get rough will you be here when I wake up
When the waves get rough will you be here when I wake up
