This is a very clever catchy song about falling in love ❤️….but there are few issues to sort out.

Ohh I'm so spaced out today, Ohh I could of slept for days, (He’s on cloud nine because he’s met this girl and may have been with this girl and is head over heels in love. He may have spent some time with her and slept with her and so is literally also tired)

It's like a radar and it calls to you, From the sea, from the sea, from the sea (They are in love, it’s obvious and undeniable it’s clearly felt like a radar detecting it’s presence. It comes to you from the sea is the metaphor “the sea of love” like the song of the same name. It’s love)

Ohh she's just so under pain, Ohh I'm so spaced out today (She is conflicted and feeling anguish because she is actually with someone else and has cheated on them. It may even be a marriage. It could also mean being under someone, like her boyfriend/husband is dominating her and won’t let her go, she doesn’t know if she can leave him for the new guy who is in love with her. Where as he is spaced out and with his head in the clouds happy and in love. It’s knocked him for a six).

My head's the light way and I come to you, From the sea, from the sea, from the sea (I think it means his intentions, thoughts and motivations are pure because he loves her…it’s coming from the heart… or it could mean he’s just light headed because he is in love, he can’t eat, sleep that kind of thing because he’s constantly thinking of her).

Hello, hello, ohh hello (Hello!! Who’s this?. It’s clear. You’re the one. It’s you I’ve been waiting for) The world repeats itself some how (Love has come around again. Her other relationship which was once love has ended and love is in the air again. It’s time to embrace a new love) She knows, she knows, ohh she knows, (She knows he loves her. She knows it’s love again) The world repeats itself some how

All I'm just beginning to know, (It’s on. It’s her and it’s love and it’s all he wants right no nothing else)

She's all I'm just beginning to know (He only wants her and to have her as the focus of his life for now)

Ohh, there's just no oxygen (The situation is a bit suffocating with him being in love with her and she’s got this either freshly ex boyfriend/husband or is still with him and is cheating on him Or that It’s all a bit overwhelming this love, all encompassing…like trying to breathe underwater with no oxygen…the sea of love. Ohh, why can't we just fall in, (Somethings getting in the way. He asks why can’t they just fall and be in love. In the sea of love. What’s stopping them. The situation with the ex? Or partner she’s cheated on. Maybe it’s a marriage. It may be complicated)

Anyway, it’s a great hooky tune. I love Kavs voice. The piano, the drums, guitar…very catchy 10/10.
