We Move Like the Ocean Lyrics

Sit me down
I know I haven't been by your side
I'm dragging my feet, lost my stride
I've been painting pictures in my head and falling short
Losing my direction, turn me around

I've been just coasting
My mind put to motion
We move like the ocean
But I can't swim anymore

Wake me up
I fell in love in a dream, but I can't remember your face
Take me for a test drive
Chew me up, spit me out
I don't need your pat on the back, no

I've been just coasting
My mind put to motion
We move like the ocean
But I can't swim anymore

I've been just coasting
My mind put to motion
We move like the ocean
But I can't swim

I've been just coasting
My mind put to motion
We move like the ocean
But I can't swim

But I can't swim

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.

To me this song is about a relationship that's starting to fall apart. He's saying he's trying to make it work in the first verse Sit me down I know I haven't been by your side I'm dragging my feet lost my stride I've been pictures in my head and falling short Losing my direction turn me around

In the chorus he starts to realize the relationship isn't working I've been just coasting My mind put to motion We move like the ocean But I can't swim anymore

In conclusion this is about a person realizing the relationship isn't working. This is an amazing song an I hope that I helped you understand the lyrics more
