Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It’s a blue wave
Crashing in the ocean
Infinity
Crystal creation
[Verse 2]
Memory
Whisper over water
Come with me
Just be like the ocean
[Verse 3]
Come wash the clouds away
Can’t wait for summer
Come wash the clouds away
Can’t wait for summer
[Verse 4]
Before I met you (I never knew)
I was lost at sea (I never knew)
[Verse 5]
It’s a blue wave
Crashing in the ocean (I never knew)
Infinity
Crystal creation (I never knew)
[Verse 6]
Memory
Whisper over water (I never knew)
Come with me
Just be like the ocean (I never knew)
[Verse 7]
Come wash the clouds away
Can’t wait for summer
Come wash the clouds away
Can’t wait for summer
[Verse 8]
Life was just a photo
Faded in blackness while I knew I'd go on (I never knew)
Swimming against the current
Losing my direction when I didn’t have no one (I never knew)
[Verse 9]
Before I met you (I never knew)
I was lost at sea (I never knew)
[Verse 10]
Before I met you (I never knew)
I was lost at sea (I never knew)
[Verse 11]
I won’t be far from the ocean view
Never undone, know where I’m done
I can’t be far from whatever I need
The bluest ocean
Blue ocean
I won’t be far from the ocean view
Never undone, know where I’m done
I can’t be far from whatever I need
The bluest ocean
Blue ocean
