Oceanic Feeling - Lorde

It's a blue day
We could jump Bulli
When I hit that water
When it holds me
I think about my father
Doing the same thing
When he was a boy
When he was a boy

It's a blue day
We could go fishing
You'll catch the big one
Sliding the knife under the skin
Grateful for this offering
And all the living things
Under the sun
Under the sun

Little brother
I think you're an angel
See your silver chain levitate
When you're kick-flipping
Baby boy, you're super cool
I know you're scared
So was I
But all will be revealed in time

Oh look, the rays are in the bay now
Can you hear the waves and the cicadas all around?
I can make anything real
Brain so hot, it's a summer body
Every day is blue and never cloudy
Don't look down
I can make anything real

In the future
If I have a daughter
Will she have my waist or my widow's peak?
My dreamer's disposition or my wicked streak?
Will she split a tab with her lover and laugh at the stars
Like her mother when she was a girl?
When she was a girl

Now the cherry-black lipstick's gathering dust in a drawer
I don't need her anymore
'Cause I got this power
Just had to breathe out and tune in
Just had to breathe out and tune in
I just had to breathe out and tune in
I just had to breathe out and tune in
Just had to breathe

O, was enlightenment found? No, but I'm trying
Taking it one year at a time
O, can you hear the sound? It's shimmering higher
On the beach I'm building a pyre
(Use the wood brought in by the tide)
I know you'll show me how, I'll know when it's time
To take off my robes and step into the choir
