I'm waiting at the altar
With my feet buried in the sand
Facing to the water
Waves drowning out the band
Tie around my neck
Gold ring sitting in my hand
I pinch myself to check
Is this a dream that I can't understand?
Remember when I was little
Sitting in the car
I had nothing to fiddle
Just staring out at the stars
Listening to the radio
In my young mind with no scars
And thinking of when I'd grow old
And what I'd do when I'd get so far
But now I'm back to the land where I belong
Chasing the dreams that made me strong
Not realizing I took a wrong turn tonight
But now my hopes and fears they clash in sight
Battling the demons of wrong or right
Giving my life away I might
Here tonight
To my ocean kinda gal
I saw her yesterday
The one I tried to reach
Back when we were 18
And we'd spend the nights at the beach
My mind came rushing back
With memories I'd try to leach
And now it's got me wondering
Who the fuck am I trying to reach?
Well this ain't the altar where I belong
These ain't the dreams that made me strong
I realize I took a wrong turn tonight
But now the life I planned for me in sight
Is fading away into the night
Sitting under candlelight
Waiting tight
For my ocean kinda gal
Well sometimes at night I sit alone
Think of the things that did me wrong
I try my hardest to stay strong, but I lie
Lie when I say that I can
Hold my woman like a man
Like the man that I am
But in spite
Of my ocean kinda gal
