Carry the Ocean (for you)

[Verse 1] We were barefoot and breathless, chasing the tide Salt on our lips, the whole world open wide Laughed at the thunder, kissed in the spray Swore we’d never grow old, just drift far away [Chorus] I will carry the ocean for you Every wave we ever chased In these hands grown old and worn I will carry the ocean for you I will carry the ocean for you Every dream we ever faced In these arms where love was born I will carry the ocean for you [Verse 2] Little hands building castles that time will erase We taught them to swim, we taught them to chase We followed the tide where new footprints began With their laughter between us, I finally understand [Chorus] I will carry the ocean for you Every wave we ever chased In these hands grown old and worn I will carry the ocean for you I will carry the ocean for you Every dream we ever faced In these arms where love was born I will carry the ocean for you [Bridge] The wind tastes of salt and the sunlight runs thin, Your blanket pulled tight against weathered old skin. Each step to the shoreline now feels like a mile, But I carry the tide just to see you still smile. I scoop up the sea in the crook of my palms, Its cold kisses trembling like a half-remembered psalm. And I press it to yours, where our whole story grew The ocean still whispers, I’d carry it for you. [Chorus] I will carry the ocean for you Every wave we ever chased In these hands grown old and worn I will carry the ocean for you I will carry the ocean for you Every dream we ever faced In these arms where love was born I will carry the ocean for you
