No Ocean In Ireland Lyrics

Wake up next to someone that you hardly know
Talk yourself into love 'cause you know you don't want to end up alone
Find yourself knowing someone as they suddenly change
Turn a self-centered girl into gold and she'll fall into greed
Like you and me would do if we were mistaken for living a dream

I left my heart in love
I let my head go free
I left my heart in love
Now, I try to recall the time you said, "There's no ocean in Ireland"

Move yourself from this city
There are no flowers here
Nor the walls or the ships make this home
It's people who build from the ground
Lose your faith in heaven 'cause of those you've lost
Don't let go of all that you know as you try to be free
Just you and me left all alone in a world that lives in our dreams.

I left my heart in love
I let my head go free
I left my heart in love
Now, I try to recall the time you said, "There's no ocean in Ireland"

Everyone around is swimming in the ocean
While the kids are in the sound, floating for a new direction
Take them by the hand
Let them take it slow
