Lyrics
[Verse 1] White sand
Small waves
Hot sun on a heavy day
The jet has leather seats
Quiet
Too quiet
Nobody tells me why we landed here
Big house
Blue roof
Men with cameras watching from the porch
I feel
Very
Small
[Chorus] Take me back to the ocean
Take me back to the ocean
Take me back to the ocean
I want to go home
I want to go home
The water is too deep
The water is too deep
The water is too deep
[Verse 2] Stiff suits
Cold eyes
Shiny gold watches on thin wrists
They look at me
They look at me
They look at me
Paperwork
Hidden files
Silver trays with things I shouldn't touch
Don't ask
Questions
Just smile and wave for the fancy guest
I am
So
Scared
[Chorus] Take me back to the ocean
Take me back to the ocean
Take me back to the ocean
I want to go home
I want to go home
The water is too deep
The water is too deep
The water is too deep
[Bridge] Locked doors
Iron gates
Silent halls
Locked doors
Iron gates
Silent halls
I want the light
I want the air
I want to run away
[Chorus] Take me back to the ocean
Take me back to the ocean
Take me back to the ocean
I want to go home
I want to go home
The water is too deep
The water is too deep
The water is too deep
[Outro] I remember the island
I remember the island
I remember the island
I'm never going back
Never going back
Never
Never
Never
