Lorde Oceanic Feeling
[Intro]
It's a blue day
We could jump or leap
When I hit that water
When it holds me
I think about my father
Doin' the same thing
When he was a boy
When he was a boy
It's a blue day
We could go fishing
You'll catch the big one
Ah
[Verse 1]
Slidin' the knife under the skin
Grateful for this offering
And all the livin' things under the sun
Under the sun
[Verse 2]
Little brother, I think you're an angel
I see your silver chain levitate
When you keep flipping
Baby boy, you're super cool
I know you're scared, so was I
But all will be revealed in time (Time, time)
[Verse 3]
Oh, look, the rays are in the bay now
Can you hear the waves and the cicadas all around?
I can make anything real
Rays so hot, it's a summer body
Every day is blue and never cloudy
Don't look down
I can make anything real
[Verse 4]
In the future
If I have a daughter
Will she have my waist?
Or my widow's peak?
My dreamer's disposition or my wicked streak?
[Verse 5]
Will she swear to die with her lover?
Laugh with the stars like her mother
When she was a girl?
When she was a girl
[Refrain]
Now the cherry black lipstick's gathering dust in a drawer
I don't need her anymore
'Cause I got this power
I just had to breathe (Breathe out, breathe out, breathe out)
And tune in (Tune in, tune in, tune in, tune in)
I just had to breathe (Breathe out, breathe out, breathe out)
And tune in (Tune in, tune in, tune in, tune in)
I just had to breathe
And tune in
I just had to breathe
And tune in
I just had to breathe
[Outro: Lorde & Marlon Williams]
Oh, was enlightenment found?
No, but I'm tryin', takin' it one year at a time
Oh, oh, can you hear the sound?
It's shimmerin' higher
On the beach I'm buildin' a pyre
(Used the wood brought in by the tide)
I know you'll show me how I'll know when it's time to take off my robe and step into the choir
