I found you in the strangest place,
in a world I’d known since I was young.
At a time I’d closed myself away,
convinced my heart was better numb.
Just words between two distant souls,
little messages across the sea.
But you stayed when my nights got heavy,
and saw something worth loving in me.
I told you things I kept in darkness,
you never ran, you stayed beside me.
You brought a warmth I’d almost forgotten,
and slowly brought my heart back to life.
[Pre-Chorus]
So take my hand and reach inside,
past every door I closed so tight.
Find the heart I left there in the dark,
and turn on every light.
[Chorus]
Oh, my ocean girl from another world,
somewhere beyond these city lights.
Black hair dancing with the ocean wind,
the beach’s blackest diamond in the night.
You don’t always see the way you shine,
when your own mind pulls you underneath.
But baby, when the waves get high,
come back and see yourself through me.
[Verse 2]
You give away more than you keep,
put everybody’s heart before your own.
And when your mind starts running circles,
I’ll remind you you’re never alone.
When the weight inside my chest gets heavy,
you bring that same kind of peace to me.
Two hearts beneath two different skies,
with nothing strong enough to come between.
[Chorus]
My ocean girl from another world,
no ocean could keep you from my heart.
Through the darkness we keep rising,
even half a world apart.
The beach’s blackest diamond,
you were shining the whole damn time.
You reached into the dark inside me,
and turned my heart back into light.
[Bridge]
Someday there won’t be a screen,
or goodnight from a world away.
I’ll be waiting there with strawberries,
with a thousand things I won’t need to say.
I’ll finally hold you at that airport,
maybe kiss you for the very first time.
And all those miles across the ocean
will disappear with you in my arms.
[Final Chorus]
Oh, my ocean girl from another world,
come home beneath these city lights.
Take my hand and reach inside,
your fingerprints are on my heart tonight.
No distance, darkness, fear or past
could change this love we’ve come to find.
Two strangers from two different worlds,
who found each other at the perfect time.
[Outro]
City lights behind us,
ocean waves ahead.
My ocean girl, my baby,
I’d find you all over again.
