Titanic

It all started in the ocean,  
Where the horizon kissed the tide,  
And love poured like a sacred potion 
I dove in, because you were the reason.  

I was in the water, drowning willingly,  
For your breath became my oxygen.  
I broke every rule carved in stone,  
Just to anchor myself beside you, alone.  

The care we shared was more than anything 
Deeper than the trench, wider than the sea.  
Oh, love in the ocean, wild and untamed,  
I completely forgot my own name.  

The very first time I saw you, time unraveled.  
My heart slipped its moorings and fell for you.  
We were absolutely meant to be,  
A perfect match the stars once drew.  

Even in difficult moments, when the ship groaned and trembled,  
We held on to each other, skin to trembling skin,  
Finding ways to survive the storm within and without.  
It was _ooh_, love the kind that drowns out doubt.  

Every love that took place in that ship 
Stolen glances in the grand stairwell,  
Whispers beneath the chandeliers,  
Fingertips tracing promises on fogged windows,  
Two souls defying class, ice, and years 
I could draw my love on paper,  
Ink that bleeds into forever,  
Showing a love that will never end, never sever.  

In the ocean, playing like never before,  
Chasing each other through salt and starlight,  
Making love in the ocean, sacred and raw,  
Where the waves kept our secrets that night.  

We met in the ocean, and the ocean remembers.  
Nothing will come our way we cannot weather.  
We will remove every cobweb draped by fear,  
Tear down every wall that dares to block us here.  

So let it echo, let it sound the same at the end:  
It all started in the ocean,  
Where I broke the rules for you, my reason.  
It all started in the ocean,  
Where love became our only season.
