I know there's no escape for me embracing destiny
It's grown old trying to find a way to breathe
I gotta be set free
Cuz every time I shoot my shot
I'm shooting at the ground and running from the crowd
And these walls move in on me all around
I scream but it don't make a sound
So I'll head out to the see
To the one who's calling me
The salty breeze is beckoning
Cuz the ocean's my baby
And I've been fooling around
These cinder block socks oughta keep me honest
But I don't know if I'm ready to settle down
Yeah I know she'd never leave me
Cuz she ain't got nowhere to go
But maybe it's time I went and figured on out
That people are what people oughta love some more
Been shut down just one too many times
Think I'm gonna lose my mind
And I know now what it's like to be alone
One plus none's a lonely road
So I'll head out to the see
To the one who's calling me
And cash in for my reckoning
Cuz the ocean's my baby
And I've been fooling around
These cinder block socks oughta keep me honest
But I don't know if I'm ready to settle down
Yeah I know she'd never leave me
Cuz she ain't got nowhere to go
But maybe it's time I went and figured on out
That people are what people oughta love some more
The water's crystal clear
But my mind is a fog and my heart's in a bog
My soul is gripped with fear
Will I remember at all at the end of the fall
My spirit dipping like a curtain call
Cuz the ocean's my baby
And I've been fooling around
These cinder block socks oughta keep me honest
But I don't know if I'm ready
I just don't know
Cuz the ocean's my baby
And I've been fooling around
These cinder block socks oughta keep me honest
But I don't know if I'm ready to settle down
Yeah I know she'd never leave me
Cuz she ain't got nowhere to go
But maybe it's time I went and figured on out
That people are what people oughta love some more
Woah oh
People are what people oughta love some more
