Fleet Foxes

On Another Ocean (January / June)

Fleet Foxes


Biding your time on the other ocean
Falling into line in the cold and damp
Wherever you run, you see all you leave behind you
Lies inside

Anyone you open on the other ocean
On the other ocean, on the other ocean

Was he not quite as you had conceived him?
Did the color of the light hide the fight in the eye?
Wherever you run, you see only eyes behind you
Lies inside

Anyone you open
On the other ocean
On the other ocean
On the other ocean
On the other ocean

So, do you think the smoke, it won't enfold you?
Or there'll be someone waiting for you?
Off in the distance, then?

If only anything could change you
If only you knew what you claim to
If only every sign you cling to
If only they were so

Tune any eye into the ivy
And I won't bleed out if I know me
All I need oh don't deny me
You ended up too strained

Oh, I would lead it in the morning
Oh I won't even if I know it
All I need oh don't deny me
We're in the eye sometimes
Too young, too
Too young, too
