The Ocean In A Room lyrics

I'm a silent harbor on your coastline Watching the high tides come and go The salt is on my skin, but I am steady, hiding The depth that I won't show, you speak in daylight Like a soft breeze, not knowing the storm you Could ignite, I keep the anchor lowered in the Darkness, keeping my enormous love out of your Sight, oh, the distance in the small room is a Desert, and the silence is a sea I cannot swim It's a weight I'm carrying, heavy as the mountain Bright as a Sun that's always getting dim, how Vast, how wide, how high, the secret rises A universe that only I can see, yes It's a terrifying thing, and pretend it doesn't Belong to you and me, pretend it doesn't belong To you and me, we share the tea and talk about the Weather, I laugh until the edges start to fray Every syllable you drop is like a feather, and I'm The earth that catches everyone you say, I have a Map of every line upon your forehead I know the way you turn your head to smile, I'm memorizing The shadows in the carpet just to keep the hunger At bay for a while, if I let the walls crumble Would you stay or would the light be more than you Could take? It's a beautiful heavy way to spend my Days, waiting for the glass to finally break, oh The distance in the small room is a desert, and The silence is a sea I cannot swim It's a weight I'm carrying, heavy as the mountain Bright as a Sun that's always getting dim, how vast How wide, how high the secret rise is A universe that only I can see, yes It's a terrifying thing, and pretend it doesn't Belong to you and me, pretend it doesn't belong To you and me, how vast? How high? Just a Little secret, m just a breath between us Mine to keep
