  • I've been watchin' you for some time
    Can't stop starin' at those ocean eyes
    Burning cities and napalm skies
    Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes
    Your ocean eyes

    No fair
    You really know how to make me cry
    When you gimme those ocean eyes
    I'm scared
    I've never fallen from quite this high
    Fallin' into your ocean eyes
    Those ocean eyes

    I've been walkin' through a world gone blind
    Can't stop thinkin' of your diamond mind
    Careful creature made friends with time
    He left her lonely with a diamond mind
    And those ocean eyes

    No fair
    You really know how to make me cry
    When you gimme those ocean eyes
    I'm scared
    I've never fallen from quite this high
    Fallin' into your ocean eyes
    Those ocean eyes

    Da, da-da, da-da
    Da-da-da, da, da
    Da, da, da, da, da-da-da-da
    Mm
    Mm
    Mm

    No fair
    You really know how to make me cry
    When you gimme those ocean eyes
    I'm scared
    I've never fallen from quite this high
    Fallin' into your ocean eyes

  • AnonymousBridget, she is litterally looking at obviosly looking into two beautifull "ocean" blue eyes, and that moment the can connect on a deep level, and its like every feeling is bursting out all at once and she cant hold it in and burst out cry..
    She is expressing her love to mr oceaneyes.
    "You really know:.. wich basicly means this person is the only one who can get into her like this. Becuse she has buiilt these strong walls around her so No one can come in, yet he just walks so easily, no matter how big or thick she makes them, he can demolish every single one like its an air bubble. She is feeling love to another human for the first time in her life..... but she is also already kinda emotionall broken, "napalm skies" her sky is burning , yes she is a mess..
    But i also thinks burning cities and napalm skies means that The world has become mad, and The citiies actually feels like it burning
    And now she falls deeply and truly inlove..
    In mattera of minutues she goes from the lowerst depressed bottom to the best feeling ever, super high and euphoric from... so her emotional s--ts unimagineable..And she has no controll of it..
    She just let her self fall in it and drown completly In. She has no fear, but she is scared....
    Becuse she knows that nothing last forever..
    Love is the best thing in her life, but its also the scariest nightmare to lose..

    In short
    "You really know how to make cry, when you give me those ocean eyes" means shes has fallen inlove with him..

    Get it now maybe?
  • Bridget from CoSo this was written about a guy.. interesting. I don't get the "you really know how to make me cry when you give me those ocean eyes" part, though. But this is really pretty, though.
