Life's an Ocean

Life's an ocean
And too much commotion
And too much emotion
Dragging me down

Living for today
Don't have time to pray
Ready for the game
Take a line of fickle flame

Imagine the future
Wake up with a scream
I was buying some feelings
From a vending machine

Say that I will see
Something more than I have
There's something inside of me
Crying out for something else
And if someone hears this scream
Put it in a letter to me

Slippery slidey road, down
Slippery slidey road, down
Slippery slidey road, down
Slippery slidey road, down

Life's an ocean
And too much commotion
Not enough emotion
To satisfy me

Slippery slidey road, down
It's a slippery slidey road down
Hold my hand and we'll walk down
Dry those eyes and we'll walk down

Slippery slidey road, down
Slippery slidey road, down

Life's an ocean
Life's an ocean
Too much commotion
And too much emotion
Too much emotion, too much emotion
Too much emotion, too much emotion
Too much emotion, too much emotion
