lyrics

In the Atlantic
I felt like someone new
I had the answers
To the questions no one knew
Under the covers
I lay awake confused
So many options
But I only wanted you

And I still don't understand
When my life goes as planned

I left my home, family, and my friends
To try and fix something that's already dead
Why can't you love me for the person I am
Made up your mind, then I changed it again

When I was younger
I had the drive to dream
The less that I knew
The further I could see
They say it's winter
But it still feels warm to me
I love the desert
And I want to see the trees

And I still don't understand
When my life goes as planned

I left my home family and my friends
To try and fix something that's already dead
Why can't you love me for the person I am
Made up your mind then I changed it again

Oh Ringarosa
Don't you belong with me
You're hearts an ocean
But you left me on the beach
Give me your life and
I'll give what's left of me
The waves are changing
Changing our destiny

And I still don't understand
When my life goes as planned, yeah

I had the answers
To the questions no one knew
So many options
But I only wanted you
