I want to love a boy The way I love the ocean Wish I was not afraid Of all I have that's broken I know I must behave To contain all my emotion But I want to love a boy The way I love the ocean Like a hidden cave I am always open I hold the space you made I'm empty but still hoping I have a feeling A terrible fear encroaching That' I'll never love a boy The way Iove the ocean I ask why It's better to speak than it is to die One more try It's better to laugh than it is to lie I thought I had a man Someone who could hold me But nobody can I wish someone had told me I was born yesterday And I'm still wet, still soaking And I want to love a boy The way I love the ocean The way I love the ocean The way I love the ocean
