On Another Ocean [January / June] lyrics

[January]1

[Dorian]

Biding your time

On the other ocean

Falling into line

In the cold and damp

Wherever you run

You see all you leave behind you

Lies inside anyone you open

On the other ocean

On the other ocean

On the other ocean

Was he not quite

As you had conceived him?

Did the color of the light

Hide the fight in the eyes?

Wherever you run

You see only eyes behind you

Lies inside anyone you open

On the other ocean

On the other ocean

On the other ocean

On the other ocean

[Alright, time to get over it, buddy]

[Cut to June]

So, do you think the smoke, it won't enfold you?

Or there'll be someone waiting for you

Off in the distance, then?

If only anything could change you

If only you knew what you claim to

If only every sign you cling to

If only they were so

Tune any eye into the ivy

And I won't bleed out if I know me

All I need, oh, don't deny me

You ended up too strained

Oh, I won't lead it in the morning

Oh, I won't even if I know it

All I need, oh, don't deny me

We're in the (eye / I)2 sometimes

Too young

Too

Too young

Too

1. The parts in brackets and italics are not spoken/sung words, but are part of the official lyrics from the lyric booklet. This album tells a story, so these function like scene headings in a screenplay and give additional information and context to the lyrics. This song is a continuation of "Mearcstapa" and the story is continued in the next song, "Fool's Errand."2. This is exactly how it's written in the official lyric booklet, probably to draw attention to the word play.
