lyrics

i took a look at you
you looked back
i fell for you
and everything you do

the only thing i did not know
was who you really are
who you really are

open water
open water
open water
open water
open water
open water
open water

i came here to forget my bedroom
on the only direct flight out of light
for the fact you did not ever act on
a single reflection

you see me in broken mirror
yet still you do not seem to forget
reflections are perception
in the wrong direction

you see through my looks at you
you see me look at you
you see through
see through
you see through

i’m not the sea
i’m not the sea
i’m not the sea
you are my ocean

i’m not the sea
i’m not the sea
you are my ocean
