“No swimming in the winter ocean”
No swimming in the winter ocean, somehow it feels right with no one around
A boat like we’ve only seen in movies is coming, so let’s wait here
There’s a gull’s nest on the lighthouse at the end of the cape, but
If we miss it, it’s the last boat, so keep your eyes on the horizon
On the spur of the moment, we strangle ourselves, strangle even to our hearts
Hey, hey, look into my eyes
Hey, hey, don’t look away
Hey, hey, day and night
I love you this much, I love you
The winter ocean looks like mercury, the sun is on the verge of drowning
Surely even the tears we shed that day have returned to this ocean
Like chicks nestled sleeping in a gull’s nest
Let us, too, press our bodies together and heat each other with the warmth of two
It’s laughable how much I don’t want to move, but there is nowhere to go but here
Hey, hey, look into my eyes
Hey, hey, don’t look away
Hey, hey, day and night
I love you this much, I love you
Hey, hey, look into my eyes
Hey, hey, don’t look away
Hey, hey, look right at me
Hey, hey, don’t leave me
Hey, hey, suppose that this
Hey, hey, is all a lie
Hey, hey, day and night
I love you this much, I love you
I love you
No swimming in the winter ocean, somehow it feels right with no one around
Will the lighthouse’s light reach us? And it feels like we could just disappear
