A Drop in the Ocean Songtext
von Doves

Of all my past lives
I can′t recall which one
Or if the feeling's real
Have I been here before?
One thing that really keeps me going
The one thing that I know
You′ve always been on my side
(You and me against the world)

Oh, the flowers beneath the waves
Will come back one day

Oh, you are the reason
You are the air
Yes, a drop in the ocean
But you're not there
A drop in the ocean


Of all my days
I see back in slow motion
I check my ego at the door
After all, we're not here for long
Nothing′s so important
At least nothing that is real
Of feeling hope in motion
Of feeling some emotion
(And then one day)

The flowers beneath the ice
Will thaw out someday

Ah, you are the reason
I said you are the air
You′re like an unsaid emotion
But you're not there
Oh, give me a reason
Can you give me a sign? Sign, sign, sign
Surely it′s beneath the waves
Somewhere out there
Just a drop in the ocean
