Ocean Eyes
A Companion Song to Bourbon Eyes.
by manyface music
Ocean Eyes was written as an extension and counterpart to the song Bourbon Eyes.
Where Bourbon Eyes lives in the feeling of reaching, traveling, and gravity – Ocean Eyes comes from a place of clarity and steadiness.
The ocean imagery was, for me, the natural next step to falling from space. There’s still the unknown. But the ocean is deep, and steady. Reliable.
There’s hope in it.
Because sometimes what feels like wandering…
is actually leading you exactly where you’re supposed to go.
"I ain't lost out in the current now. I'm where I'm meant to be."

Ocean Eyes Lyrics - Manyface Music
[Verse 1]
You swam across the sea,
just to try and get to me.
Try to drift across the waves,
but the tide don’t seem to pull you like I do.
So you hitch a ride on a tidal swell,
and pray that when it breaks, I’ll wade toward you.
[Chorus]
I swear everytime I see you,
it’s like the first time -
deep and steady.
And the moon begins,
to pull the tide as I
fall into your ocean eyes.
[Verse 2]
You dove through rays of teal,
just to try to get to me.
Made it all the way to the ocean floor,
and you ain’t seen nothing quite like me.
So you float along on the surface,
and pray this current carries you back to me.
[Chorus]
I swear everytime I see you,
it’s like the first time -
deep and steady.
And the moon begins,
to pull the tide as I
fall into your ocean eyes.
[Bridge]
And maybe all this flounderin’
ain’t about the coral in these reefs -
maybe every time I stall
is just the pull you have on me.
’Cause something in the way you shine
pulls me closer to the truth
I ain’t lost out in the current now…
I’m where I’m meant to be.
[Refrain]
Oooo Oooo
[Chorus]
I swear every time I see you,
it's like the first time -
deep and steady.
[Outro]
But this time -
You let the waves have their way,
let all the things around you fade,
and as you’re floatin’ through the darkness,
Oooo Oooo...
I see the sunlight in your ocean eyes, and it leads me back to you.
