John Mayer Walk On The Ocean Lyrics

Walk On The Ocean Lyrics

We spotted the ocean

At the head of the trail

Where are we goin'

So far away

And somebody told me

That this is the place

Where everything's better

Everything's safe



CHORUS:

Walk on the ocean

Step on the stones

Flesh becomes water

Wood becomes bone



Half an hour later

We packed up our things

We said we'd send letters

And all of those little things

And they know we were lyin'

But they smiled just the same

It seemed they'd already

Forgotten we'd came



(CHORUS X 2)



Now we're back at the homestead

Where the air makes you choke

And people don't know you

And trust is a joke

We don't even have pictures

Just memories to hold

That grow sweeter each season

As we slowly grow old
