could you ever look at me?
the way you're looking at the ocean
all wounded in your smile
but holy and unrolled
could you ever look at me?
and could you ever look at me?
the way you're looking at the sunrise
how it settles on your face
whole and unafraid
like the light of your world
i don't know how
to chase away the fear i have inside me
and i don't know where it is you go
when you drift away, when you drift away
could you ever look at me?
the way you're looking at the ocean
could you give to me that smile?
if only for a while
could you ever look at me?

and i don't know how
to find a way to keep you here beside me
and i don't know where it is you go
but it's beautiful to me, so beautiful to see
i hope you never look at me
the way you're looking at he ocean
cause in the sunrise i have seen
i was never meant to be the light of your world
