Cover art for A Drop In The Ocean lyrics by Ron Pope

In this song, he is talking about being in the "friend zone". I have always listened to this song ever since I heard it used in The Vampire Diaries. Im sure, most of us got this song from there too, since Ron Pope is not a mainstream artist. "A drop in the ocean. A change in the weather. I was praying that you and me might end up together". Means he is still friends with her, but the whole time he has always wanted more. She may have rejected him in the past, but she wish to remain friends, and he accepts it, instead of walking away from the friendship. His emotions is further exemplified in the next two lines. "It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert. But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven? He needs her badly in his life. More than just a friend, and he is having a hard time moving on and meeting new people, because she is still his "heaven". This next line shows she has no romantic feelings from him. "I don't wanna waste the weekend. If you don't love me pretend". This song becomes sad in this next verse. It seems she is being selfish by holding on to him, instead of setting him free. "Don't take what you don't need from me".
