Well, I don’t know about talking to the fishes,
But I’d like to live my life by the sea;
Go underwater and look up at the sky,
It’s always looked like a different dimension to me.

Escape from the city,
To the coast, to the ocean—
Where I know I can find some fishes for free.

Escape from the city,
To the coast, to the ocean—
Where the water makes me wonder
If you think about me sometimes.

I think about you sometimes.
Do you think about me?
When you’re down at the beach sometimes?

I’ve always loved the ocean—
Let the waves wash over me.
I’ve always loved the ocean—
Stick my toes in the sand.
I’ve always loved the ocean—
With her fingers holding onto me.
I think about you when I’m holding her hand sometimes.

Do you think about me sometimes?
I think about you.
Do you think about me sometimes?

There’s just something good about being underwater.
It always makes me feel so safe,
Like a big wet hug from old mother nature,
It’s definitely one of my favorite places.

Go underwater and forget about the future.
Go underwater and forget about the past.
Go underwater and the present is forever—
In the dark, cold space alone,
The moment will last.

Well, I don’t know about talking to the fishes,
But I’d like to live my life by the sea;
Go underwater and look up at the sky,
It’s always looked like a different dimension to me.

Escape from the city,
To the coast, to the ocean,
Where I know I can find some fishes for free.

Escape from the city,
To the coast, to the ocean—
Where the water makes me wonder if you think about me sometimes.

I think about you sometimes.
Do you think about me?
When you’re down at the beach sometimes?

I think about you.
Do you think about me sometimes?
I think about you.
Do you think about me sometimes?
I think about you.
Do you think about me sometimes?
I think about you.
