[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

R.E.M.

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
