[Chorus]
Your life is the ocean and your heart is a wave
Like a dog in the sun, I found my peace in your storm
As I sail for days, I keep drowning away
Would my sailors forgive me for feeling this way?

[Verse 1]
You said, "Hey, Mister, do follow through
Let's go and build a house, big enough to fit us two
We'll weave a castle there, the castle of our dreams
My knight in dining armour and I, your blanket queen"

[Verse 2]
Girl, you're just like that pretty house with wooden beams, you're facing south
You are my shelter, you are my little home, your walls are painted pink and green
With a hint of tangerine, I see a crack in the window
I'm waking up to hold you, your blemishes, all your tragedies are mine

[Chorus]
'Cause your life is the ocean and your heart is a wave
Like a dog in the sun, I found my peace in your storm
As I sail for days, I keep drowning away
Would my sailors forgive me for feeling this way?

[Verse 3]
As days turn into years, got more than I deserved
There's so much left to learn as I flip through your pages
As sweet as crème brûlée, these memories we've made
Now let me take your hand and offer a lifetime
[Verse 4]
'Cause, darling, all these years have gone just as the tree we sat upon
So afraid to fall, the way we laughed, we made it through
My sailors, they have come 'round, their ballads bring a different sound
I guess they all have drowned in love with you the way I have too

[Chorus]
'Cause your life is the ocean and your heart the biggest wave
Like a dog in the sun, I found my peace in your storm
As I sail for days, I keep on drowning, drowning away
Would the gods forgive me for feeling this way?
