The Sea Lyrics

There is a big idea, a deep collective longing
“Things were better then, but we'll go back some day”

When we're looking at that big blue deep expanse and saying:

We can always run away
Get in a big black car
And drive it all the way till we feel at home again

And when we're at the beach
We'll parade into the waves
As far as we can reach
Drag me down – back into the sea

It's in the blood, it never said farewell
And when we fill our lungs we'll
Slow it down – back into the sea

All the cities we have built
All the centuries we have killed
We could be swimming in the ocean
A million years from now

We could throw it all away
So we feel at home again

And when we're at the beach
We'll parade into the waves
As far as we can reach
Drag me down – back into the sea

It's in the blood, it never said farewell
And when we fill our lungs we'll
Slow it down – back into the sea
