My inspo for the story
If it was a conversation
Thalassa
Caelum
Both
[Verse 1]
I love you in the way that the ocean loves the sky - I’m the ocean and you’re the sky
The ocean, oh so great but also so confined - My power is strong but I’m so confined
And we may never touch but I′ll wait till the end of time - We’ll never touch but we can wait forever
For when we finally meet, when I reach the horizon line - For when we finally reach peace
You love me in the way that the sky loves the sea - I’m the sky and you’re the ocean
I'm but one of many worlds but you are everything to me - I’m best of many worlds but you are the one for me
I′m beautiful when you are, does one exist if not seen? - Beautiful when you are, do I exist if not for you?
I'd rise and fall at your command, you'd never change for me - I’d do everything for you but you’re not here
[Chorus]
So I′ll keep waiting on the horizon - I’ll keep waiting for you
If I keep staring I can will it to existence - If I keep trying you’ll come back to me
Just like the sky always finds the sea - I’ll always wait for you
Convince myself you′ll do the things I do for you, for me - You’ll love me like I do
You'll treat me right - You’ll be the one for me
Just like the waves will one day kiss the sky - If the waves kiss the sky
[Verse 2]
Infinity within you and yet more I understand - So many emotions inside you and yet I understand
Than endlessness within myself although boxed in by land - No matter how far I run you still box me in
The sky is but a pond and the sea a starry band - I see me in your eyes, a girl who tries to put her emotions away for her empire / a boy who changed to protect what he had left
The paradox that lives between us in this vast expanse - You look the same yet act so differently
I′m nothing but a canvas for you to project yourself - When I’m next to you I feel broken
Constantly in turbulence but you're too far to tell - The mess of emotions in me you’ll never see
You′ll never know the parts of me that make me my own self - You’ll never know why I act the way I do
You'll never know me deeper than reflections of yourself - You’ll always see what you want to see
[Chorus]
So I′ll keep waiting on the horizon - And I’m still waiting for the real you
If I keep staring I can will it to existence - If you could control me could you will it into existence
Just like the sky always finds the sea - I’ll always find you no matter how far you run
Convince myself you′ll do the things I do for you, for me - You say I love you but is this really love
You'll treat me right - You’ll love me always
Just like the waves will one day kiss the sky - The waves will / won’t kiss the sky
[Bridge]
I′ll keep waiting forever - I’ll wait forever
You asked me if I′d hurt you I said "Never" - You said you’d never hurt me
So take this message bottle with a letter - So just take my love and accept it
Kept inside until I can't remember - Kept inside until it turned into obsession
Oh, oh
[Outro]
Is the depth of what it was, a sign we′re never really through - You say we’re never truly through
Or do things just tend to happen and I can't accept the truth? - I’ll never accept the truth
We were a perfect picture giving everyone a view - We could be the picture of love but I didn't want to be
Oh, but something that was beautiful can end up hurting too - Beautiful as you were you ended up hurting me
Something that was beautiful can end up hurting too - I ended up hurting too
Horizon line, believe the lie, one day I′ll be with you - My dear, believe the lie, but I’ll always / never be with you
