One. Crawled Out of the Sea - Laura Marling
oh, you crawled out of the sea
straight into my arms
straight into my arms
Two. Sea Song - Lisa Hannigan
and though he is like the sea and it's right he be so
if I hold tight he'll wash over me
there's one man so bright he blocks the light
and he'll always be so
he's like no sleep on the weekend
and though he is like the sea and he's right to be so
when I hold tight I sink down deep
Three. Harbor - Vienna Teng
sail your sea, meet your storm
all I want is to be your harbor
the light in me will guide you home
all I want is to be your harbor
Four. Swimming - Florence + The Machine
your songs remind me of swimming which I forgot when I started to sink
drank further away from the shore and deeper into the drink
I tried to remember the chorus I can't remember the verse
‘cause that song that sent me swimming is now the life jacket that burst
rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor sinking like a siren that can't swim anymore
your songs remind me of swimming but I can't swim any more
pull me out the water, cold and blue I open my eyes and I see that it's you
so I dive straight back in the ocean take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest
and cross my fingers and hope for the best
then all of a sudden I heard a note it started in my chest and ended in my throat
then I realized, then I realized, then I realized
I was swimming yes I was swimming
and now I'm swimming yes, I am swimming
Five. Song to the Siren - This Mortal Coil
on the floating ship less oceans I did my best to smile
till your singing eyes and fingers drew me loving into your eyes
now my foolish boat is leaning broken lovelorn on your rocks
for you sang, “touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow”
oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow
I’m as puzzled as a newborn child I’m as riddled as the tide
Six. Undertow - Stars
when will it stop? no one forever young
when will it stop? I’m caught in the undertow
when will it stop? the brittle and bitter bone
when will it stop? forgotten how to grow
you pick the storm or you pick the shore
bolt it to the floor, to the floor
when will it stop, when will it stop?
Seven. Fountain - Sara Lov
fountain, fountain we are the same
fountain, fountain we are the same
you with the water and me with the pain
turning it over again and again
don't you wish you could throw your pennies back at them?
don't you wish you could throw your pennies back at them?
all that anyone ever has for you
are the things you reflect back to them
fountain, fountain we are the same
fountain, fountain we are the same
it is so beautiful how you remain
Eight. Seaweed Song - Passion Pit
some day you'll see, surrounded by angels floating atop of the sea
abandon me don't go where they go, don't sing all the songs they sing
the currents pull me in the tide has reached my chin
the seaweed tickles skin, just let the water win
Nine. What He Wrote - Laura Marling
he had to leave though I begged him to stay
left me alone when I need the light fell to my knees and I wept for my life
he wrote of love, please send for me
but I'm broken, too, and spoken for, do not tempt me
he had to leave though I begged him to stay
begged him to stay in my cold wooden grip
begged him to stay by the light of this ship
me fighting him, fighting light, fighting dawn
and the waves came and stole him and took him to war
Ten. The Ocean - Alela Diane
in spirit she's drifted to the ocean
all those years of waiting for the water
she's watching long shadows call in the tide
but the sunset by the sea is in her mind
the sunset by the sea is in her mind
these days you'll find her walking, singing to the deep sea
but she will always love him, lost up in the mountains
the sun set on the ocean, gathering shells and beach glass
dancing with the rolling waves, it gives her peace of mind
but she will always love him, lost up in the mountains
for she will always love him, lost up in the mountains
Eleven. Many Rivers - Charlotte Martin
and I have not run out although you thought I might
and I have not run dry and coming from my eyes are many rivers
I must follow where the deep water goes
I must follow you where nobody knows
I must follow you wherever it goes
and I have not run out although you thought I might
and I have not run dry and coming from my eyes
are every ounce of pain and I have fought the fight
and I have been let down and I will be alright
with many rivers
Twelve. The Waves - Elisa
left last night I reached the shore
trying to find everything I lost
in a thousand waves a million waves
still, somewhere I am sure that I will see your face
I will see you there
some comfort in the night
'cause I don't mind what I've lost
I've reached the shore and nothing ever changed
in a thousand waves a million waves
oh still I look for love and all I see is your face
so I come back home to you
Thirteen. Ocean Size Love - Leigh Nash
I know what I'm doing may be dumb, I know I should not be staring at the sun
but the thought of you leads me to temptation
it's the same whatever side you're on, separated we are delicate and small
and the space between needs our attention
and it might seem much too far to get back to where you are
but it's close enough with an ocean size love
so if you can't reach out to me, send a sign across the sea
and I'll pick it up with an ocean size love
I don't want to worry anymore, if I really need you I'll go to the shore
and the thought of you there is my protection
you make no sound but I can hear you in the wind
I can see this never ends, like the sea, like you for me
