lyrics

Sometimes I’ll drink to forget,
But this time it’s got regret,
As things I try not to remember,
Come flooding back into my head.

And my mind becomes an ocean,
As I fill up on this potion,
And I’d love for you to join,
Quite honestly, but all I’ve got are these apparent motions.

Do, do, do, do, do, do,
Do, do, do, do, do, do,
Do, do, do, do, do, do,
Do, do, do, do, do, do,
Do, do, do, do,
Do, do, do,
Do, do, do, do,
Do, do, do, do.

I’ll probably tumble in a wave,
Stranded out here for days,
With no worry of who I am,
Or my new desperate ways.

But right now all the pretty little lies,
That I drift amongst the tides.
In this ever widening ocean,
Sort of take me by surprise.

And you knew me,
To drift out in the oceans,
To toss and crumble with waves,
And you knew,
Those oceans were me.

And you knew me,
To drift out in the oceans,
To toss and crumble with waves,
And you knew,
Those oceans were me.

Do, do, do, do, do, do,
Do, do, do, do, do, do,
Do, do, do, do, do, do,
Do, do, do, do, do, do,
Do, do, do, do,
Do, do, do,
Do, do, do, do,
Do, do, do, do.

And I’d be okay,
Tossing with the waves,
If I knew I was underneath the brightening stars.

about

Jonathan Atkins Mississauga, Ontario

"A singer-songwriter with a devastating ear for harmonies and a delicate touch with lyrics that slide perfectly into a horrid winter. There's a definite Celtic touch, but far sweeter than something like Mumford & Sons." - Andrew Fifield (Metro News)
