[Verse 1]
I dreamt what you were offering
Imagine lying next to me
Your shirt and your reputation tossed
[Verse 2]
I will write our story in my mind
Write about our dreams and triumphs
This might be my "innocence lost"
[Refrain]
I can taste the ocean on your skin
But that is where it all begins
[Verse 3]
I dreamt that we were elephants
With water, sun, and clouds of dust
And woke up thinking we were free
Oh oh oh
[Refrain]
I can taste the ocean on your skin
That is where it all begins
[Chorus]
We all go back to where we belong
We all go back to where we belong
[Post-Chorus]
Is this really what you want?
Is this really what you want?
[Refrain]
I can taste the ocean on your skin
That is where it all begins
[Chorus]
We all go back to where we belong
We all go back to where we belong
[Post-Chorus]
Is this really what you want?
Is this really what you want?
[Outro]
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I dreamt what you were offering
Imagine lying next to me
Your shirt and your reputation tossed
[Verse 2]
I will write our story in my mind
Write about our dreams and triumphs
This might be my "innocence lost"
[Refrain]
I can taste the ocean on your skin
But that is where it all begins
[Verse 3]
I dreamt that we were elephants
With water, sun, and clouds of dust
And woke up thinking we were free
Oh oh oh
[Refrain]
I can taste the ocean on your skin
That is where it all begins
[Chorus]
We all go back to where we belong
We all go back to where we belong
[Post-Chorus]
Is this really what you want?
Is this really what you want?
[Refrain]
I can taste the ocean on your skin
That is where it all begins
[Chorus]
We all go back to where we belong
We all go back to where we belong
[Post-Chorus]
Is this really what you want?
Is this really what you want?
[Outro]
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
