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
