My heart hits like the waves from the ocean to the shore
On a cool summer night as we lay on your bedroom floor
And my hands, they slide down your back like sinking ships,
To your hips
And the weight of my world crashes in for one last kiss

Time is on our side, you know we're sinking in
Into this ocean of love, we're barely breathing

As our love sets sail, you know you can't be afraid to steer
(Time is on our side, you know we're sinking in)
With our hands raised high,
We'll wave goodbye to this town my dear
(Into this ocean of love, we're barely breathing)
Now we're off on our own and a cannon, it's bombs away
(Now we're off on our own and a cannon, it's bombs away)
Oh, we'll scream to the shore of our love
And our glory one day, and we'll say

Time is on our side, you know we're sinking in
Into this ocean of love, we're barely breathing
We're going under with one gasp we'll say,
This will never wash away
And the tide's rolling in like a one-man army
And it's trying to tell me we're finished before we started

This will never wash, this will never wash away
This will never wash, this will never wash away
This will never wash, this will never wash away
And the weight of my world crashes in for one
Last kiss, and we'll say

Time is on our side, you know we're sinking in
Into this ocean of love, we're barely breathing
We're going under with one gasp we'll say,
This will never wash away
(My heart hits like the waves from the ocean to the shore
On a cool summer night as we lay on your bedroom floor)
My heart hits like the waves from the ocean to the shore
