I see you standing there
Across the room with your friends
And I want to go
Anywhere with you
In my dreams it's just you and me
It haunts me, your beautiful face
All I do is agree
With my friends when I imagine your embrace
They say, go try it
What's the worst that can happen
I say no but admit to myself
I'd like to be with you down by the ocean
All year it terrifies
The way I think about you every night
Open eyed sleeps thinking about butterflies
Tossing up decisions I can't make
Deciding whether it should be the day
I'm getting to the point, I can hear it scream
They say, go try it
What's the worst that can happen
I say no but admit to myself
I'd like to be with you down by the ocean
I ask her late one day
Will you go out with me sometime?
Patiently I wait, blocked my airways
I've waited so long
So long for this chance
Then she said
I think I'm busy
I never gave you a date
No, I never gave you a time
But you go ahead and deliberately ruin this lifetime
You're the reason I write this song
The reason my mind explodes every night
You're the reason that I want to die
They say, go try it
What's the worst that can happen
I say no but admit to myself
I'd like to be with you down by the ocean
I'd like to be with you down by the ocean
I'd like to be with you down by the ocean
I'd like to be with you down by the ocean
I'd like to stay down by the ocean
