On Another Ocean [January / June] lyrics
[January]1
[Dorian]
Biding your time
On the other ocean
Falling into line
In the cold and damp
Wherever you run
You see all you leave behind you
Lies inside anyone you open
On the other ocean
On the other ocean
On the other ocean
Was he not quite
As you had conceived him?
Did the color of the light
Hide the fight in the eyes?
Wherever you run
You see only eyes behind you
Lies inside anyone you open
On the other ocean
On the other ocean
On the other ocean
On the other ocean
[Alright, time to get over it, buddy]
[Cut to June]
So, do you think the smoke, it won't enfold you?
Or there'll be someone waiting for you
Off in the distance, then?
If only anything could change you
If only you knew what you claim to
If only every sign you cling to
If only they were so
Tune any eye into the ivy
And I won't bleed out if I know me
All I need, oh, don't deny me
You ended up too strained
Oh, I won't lead it in the morning
Oh, I won't even if I know it
All I need, oh, don't deny me
We're in the (eye / I)2 sometimes
Too young
Too
Too young
Too
[Major]
1. The parts in brackets and italics are not spoken/sung words, but are part of the official lyrics from the lyric booklet. This album tells a story, so these function like scene headings in a screenplay and give additional information and context to the lyrics. This song is a continuation of "Mearcstapa" and the story is continued in the next song, "Fool's Errand."2. This is exactly how it's written in the official lyric booklet, probably to draw attention to the word play.
