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 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 end in sight.

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.

Nothing compares to
this deep devotion.
That was a river,
this is the ocean.

That was a river,
this is the ocean.
