I've seen that look before

Here comes that doubt again

You think that girl we saw

Was more than just a friend

Yes there was a time

I thought she had it all

She meant the world to me

Back when the world was small

That was a river

This is the ocean

That never carried

This much emotion

Nothing compares to

This deep devotion

That was a river

This is the ocean

The love we've had before

Can never change this one

We're not imprisoned by

The past we've brought along

It's just you and me

One ship in the night

There are no boundaries

There is no wind in sight

Chorus

Nothing compares to

This deep devotion

That was a river

This is the ocean

That was a river

This is the ocean
