Pacific Ocean

from Tonight by Letter Seventeen

lyrics

I’m proud of you, you made it this far, It’s been a challenging year
You’ve stared it down, you’ve faced it head on, A triumph over fear
As if you needed more to think about, In times such as these
Your brain fires up as the lights go out, And leaves you with this decree

Every C in “Pacific Ocean” is pronounced differently
Take some time to roll that around, tell me what it means
Every C in “Pacific Ocean” is pronounced differently
Close your eyes now, go to sleep

You hoped for safety, a blessed respite, From all the trials of the day
You knew you could make it despite the strife, You knew you could find a way
You smile to yourself, you’re satisfied, You let out a contented sigh
How could you know once you closed your eyes, You’d deal with this surprise

Every C in “Pacific Ocean” is pronounced differently
Take some time to roll that around, tell me what it means
Every C in “Pacific Ocean” is pronounced differently
Close your eyes now, go to sleep

You have disease on the news and election results
And politicians who need a muzzle
Yet just when you’re ready to drift off to sleep
Your brain gives you this puzzle

Every C in “Pacific Ocean” is pronounced differently
Take some time to roll that around, tell me what it means
Every C in “Pacific Ocean” is pronounced differently
Close your eyes now, go to sleep
Close your eyes now, go to sleep
Go ahead now, try to sleep

Letter Seventeen Norcross

Whimsical indie pop from a one-man band. Except when other people help. Which is quite often. So it's not like a one-man band at all.
Oh. And there are songs about donkeys.
