Lyrics

[Intro]
[strummed acoustic guitar, clean electric guitar lead line]
[Verse 1]
[male vocals enter]
Oh I remember paradise
You take the curtains and you draw them anywhere you like
You can stand naked and see for something more than me
Not always the ocean's elevator
Not always the ocean's elevator
Not always the ocean's elevator
Not always the one that you know
No, no, no, no, no
See I picked your eye
Even in the dead of night
There's nothing between us but the air in our lungs
[Chorus]
[full band enters, driving drums]
Not always the ocean's elevator
I'm not always the ocean's elevator
Hey, oh, oh
Hey, oh
[Bridge]
[acoustic guitar strumming, electric guitar arpeggios]
Sail on the side of the world
Just another case no one cared to talk
Just another nothing that you walk past
[vocals become more intense, belted]
Who's gonna be the one?
Who's gonna be the one?
Who's gonna be the one?
In my mind
[vocals become more intense, belted]
Who's gonna be the one?
Who's gonna be the one?
Who's gonna be the one?
In my mind
[Outro]
[acoustic guitar continues]
Set a straight line, don't deviate from the chosen course to truth
For all of you now, where we go
Oh, for all of you now, where we go
Where we go
[falsetto vocalizations]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
