lyrics to "Into the ocean" by "Blue October"

I'm just a normal boy, that sank when I fell overboard, my ship would leave the country, but I'd rather swim ashore, without a life vest I'd be stuck again, wish I was much more masculine, maybe then I could learn to swim like, 14 miles away, now floating up and down, I spin colliding into sound, like whales beneath me diving down, I'm sinking to the bottom of my, everything that freaks me out, the lighthouse gleam has just run out, I'm cold, as cold, as cold can be.

I want to swim away but don't know how, sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean, let the waves up and take me down, let the hurricane set in motion, let the rain of what I feel right now come down, let the rain come down.

Where is the coastguard?, I keep looking each direction, for a spotlight, give me something, I need something for protection, maybe flotsam junk will do just fine, the jetsam sunk I'm left behind, I'm treading for my life believe me, how can I keep up this breathing, not knowing how to think, I scream aloud begin to sink, my legs and arms are broken down, within before the solid ground, I'm reaching for the life within me, how can one man stop his ending?, I thought of just your face, relaxed and floated into space.

I want to swim away but don't know how, sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean, let the waves up and take me down, let the hurricane set in motion, let the rain of what I feel right now come down, let the rain come down.

Now waking to the sun, I calculate what I had done, like jumping from the bow yeah, just to prove that I knew how yeah, it's midnights late reminder of, the loss of her, the one I love, my will to quickly end it all, set forth go in my need to fall, into the ocean end it all, into the ocean end it all, into the ocean end it all, into the ocean end it all.

I want to swim away but don't know how, sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean, let the waves up and take me down, let the hurricane set in motion, let the rain of what I feel right now come down, let the rain come down.

I thought of just your face.
