Again, I’m talking to the lake 

I’m standing on the rocks 

Yer not the ocean 

I’m better to watch 

Britney invisible 

or the stranger in myself 

than a wall of water just hitting the shelf 



Yer not the ocean 

You’re up to my toes 

Yer not the ocean 

You’re not even close 



Though you’re so real 

and you’ve more youth everyday 

and you can think and feel 

and get out of your own way 

and though I’m nothing 

you are just a lake 

made to take it 

and take and take and take 



Yer not the ocean 

I’m standing on my toes 

Yer not the ocean 

You’re not even close 

Yer not the ocean 

You’re up to my chin 

Yer not the ocean 

You’re not coming in 



You’re not coming in 

You’re not coming in 

You’re not coming in 



Yer not the ocean 

You’re up to my chin 

Yer not the ocean 

You’re not coming in 



You’re not coming in 

You’re not coming in 

You’re not coming in
