The Ocean Song Lyrics

I remember when I felt so sure
With every step I took came an open door
Now I miss the sea and I miss the sea
And your lovely self wrapped all over me

And this too I can do without
Because alone I came in and alone I go out

Is this my land?
Is this my sea?
Is this my ocean?
Is this my land?
Is this my sea?
Is this my body?

Sometimes I feel like there's so much madness
So many tricks abound
We're all clamoring just to hear the sound
I've got my sets set on one thing
That's to open myself
And let the vibrations ring

But is this my land?
Is this my sea?
Is this my ocean?
Is this my land?
Is this my sea?
Is this my body?

And over here is the end
When you say, "Baby, I just wanna be your friend"
I am like the biggest girl
Looking for a home in a great, big world
In a great, big world

Is this my land?
Is this my sea?
Is this my ocean?
Is this my land?
Is this my sea?
Is this my body?

And I remember when I felt so sure
With every step I took came an open door

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
