Fruit Bats - Ocean Lyrics






Still waiting around for some mystical shift
In the winds, sonic leaves
Don't go just yet
Cigarette fingers are shaking the knees
A bit blue, kind of tired, but not broken

'Cause back when I needed someone to tuck me in
Like I was some orphan kid
And you drove me to the ocean
Then you picked me up and dipped me in
You picked me up and dipped me in

Anticipating a magical bend in the rose, so
Hang on, take it slow
You go back [?] and you're hangover is gone
Another dawn at the edge of the known world

Didn't see the mountains 'till the age of twenty-four
Corpses lead and huge
We're still babies on the borderline
Watching it all tumble into view
Watching it all tumble into view

And I still believe that you're my ocean
Please believe that I believe that it is true
Believe me when I tell you that I do

  1. M.... D....

    Underrated song. Underrated artist.

  2. Y.... N....

    I love you so much Eric.....you are the sweetest person ever and your performance blew us away. Your music makes many of my days better ❤️ I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart

  3. P.... A....

    I wish I still went into Record Stores like the old days. I wish the Whistle Test was still on. I wish loads of things. I'd then have heard of Fruits Bats long ago rather than today.

  4. p.... ....

    you look like me in 20 years, it’s actually uncanny. great music though, love ya man

  5. M.... T....

    Adore this. Wonderful music from a band we love! Eric's music hits the sweet spot :))) If you love melody and great bands like Fruit Bats it may be worth your while having a listen to MTR - http://www.mysterytrainradio.com/

  6. S.... S....

    Very nice video. Love from India❤️
    Let's collaborate for expending your viewers here in india

  7. B.... C....

    Exactly what I wanted to hear tonight. Every song you put out makes my heart happy when I need it most. Thank you.

  8. K.... S....

    This is how I often feel... Such a pretty song; this whole album (like all of their others) are perfect for listening to while driving with the windows down. So happy they are coming around on my birthday weekend in November.

  9. T.... H....

    So THIS is why the fully-clothed and dripping wet photo on IG! Much less confused now. So very happy for the Pinto cameo! I just love this song so much! The beautiful guitar part, the super sustain-y piano bridge, the Lennon overtones in your voice...just gorgeous. See you at the Pittsburgh show in November! ♥️

  10. A.... N....

    Boooring !! Will this band ever came up with a song that is at least listenable. There are so contrived and lazy and there is just no hook in this or anything else they do.

    A.... N....

    So you're the kind of person to spend your time seeking out music you don't like on youtube just to criticize it lol. Sounds like you need a new hobby bud

    A.... N....

    You sound like you’d be fun at a party.. how about you take your rain cloud somewhere else? There’s plenty of other bullshit on this here tube you’d love to tear apart.

    Ps I’m guessing you’re not a musician. This song (like all the other fruit bat material) is pretty excellently written and executed.

  11. T.... M....

    Wow. This song is amazing

  12. L.... K....

    Lovely song & video! ❤️

  13. N.... C....

    Beautiful! Thank you. Great chest hair too, btw. ; )

  14. n.... ....

    Were you singing from pintos point of view when you said “you picked me up and dipped me in”? Thanks for the great music as always 😁

  15. O.... ....

    Fantastic!

  16. A.... Y....

    Beautiful song and video, thank you. ❤️

  17. M.... A....

    What does this mean

  18. C.... R....

    Another gorgeous tune. Loved the record!

  19. j.... s....

    you are gonna be a superstar soon and I told you so

    j.... s....

    Superstardom is for those who sell their soul and music, both EDJ has retained and rightfully so

    j.... s....

    @Matthew Lopez I meant it only as a positive compliment

  20. B.... E....

    Thank you, EDJ, for the sweet sounds throughout the years.

  21. K.... S....

    Looking forward to the Nashville show in the fall.

    K.... S....

    See you there, Kelly!
