about

I, like everyone, have a friend that is depressed. Sometimes I would be so worried I was gon'na lose her. This song deals with the FEAR of loss. It surprising that with this subject matter this may be The Ocean Floor's poppiest song ever! enjoy.

lyrics

Everything doesn't necessarily always end up turning out the way you want it,
but I hope when I see where I should be and I'm not there I'll tilt my head so I'm looking down from floating above it.
You'll probably never feel as cool as you thought you were when you were twenty-one,
you're also probably not the astronaut you'd hoped you'd be when you were in space camp in 1991.
But it's not so bad, you didn't work all day and a funny idea came you way, and it left you with an open mouth sayin' all the things you never thought you'd say.

Everything hasn't necessarily ended up the way I'd visualized,
but like a child, I close my eyes and I pretend that it's all lies to keep from ruining the world's greatest surprise.
It'll be a while before I can take my own advice so how can I blame you?
When you swear you're still sleepin' I'm pretty sure you're sprinting topless through the city zoo.

And how can I prove that I'm not dreaming you're that raging party I'm headed to?
You ask me if our doubts will either dine on us or help to see us through.
And I shout to who I'm not convinced is you that I was wondering that too!

From the day you tasted birthday cake, till your lover's tears spill at your wake, leaves will fall from trees that quake.
What worries me that no one knows, is the chance you leave before you get what I feel you're owed, but who needs a pot of gold when the trails a rainbow?!
so let's spit in our palms and shake our fears away, and not worry when, "I miss you's" turn to simple "hey's"
and put down the phone when there's nothing left to say!
Oh, everything doesn't necessarily always end up turning out the way you want it, but when sadness takes off after you, i want you to live to outrun it...
Please, please, please, please, please!
