Sometimes you find yourself trying to let go of something But it's like, you have been swimming on the ocean for a very very long time And you feel like you belong there You are one with the waves The warmth of the water And your body moves in sync with the ocean And you swim around just trying to stay afloat Then you get tired and you start to drown And you swim back to land When you get there you just feel so heavy because you lost touch with gravity for so long And you collapse on the beach as you try to find balance again And then your feet finds gravity You stand up and you look at the horizon one last time And you just know that no matter how beautiful the sea was And how good it made you feel It was never yours to keep And somedays you'll miss it, you know And you feel yourself moving with the waves and you dream of diving in Then you realize your feet was meant for land And not cut out for the ocean Maybe you're meant to climb trees, or hike hills, or just run really fast Letting go is not easy There's nothing quite like swimming in the ocean Just like how it's natural for your feet to find gravity It's natural for you to let go And find your true purpose in life again The sea is the sea And you are just you I have to let go But sometimes I find myself waking up at the beach again Only when I look into your eyes My senses ignite I feel alive I was waiting for an answer Like a feather falling From the sky You don't want to belong to me 'Cause freedom feels better Then I could give You love inadequately But you steal hearts like mine Perfectly Why you gotta be— Why you gotta be my unrequited love, unrequited love Why can't our love be— Why can't our love be possible? For as long as I can remember Like oil and water We collide But you don't seem to want forever This adventure Was only real to my eyes You don't want to listen to me 'Cause freedom sounds better And I can see you love inadequately But you steal hearts like mine Perfectly Why you gotta be— Why you gotta be my unrequited love, unrequited love Why can't our love be— Why can't our love be possible? You're a man with excuses 'Cause we've had something real But it was only what I feel alone Oh, you're a man with your muses Always wanting something new And I was just someone that you could use Why you gotta be— Why you gotta be my unrequited love, unrequited love Why can't our love be— Why can't our love be possible?
