Ocean Breathes Salty Lyrics
Artist(Band):Modest Mouse
Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in.
In my head, in my heart, in my soul.
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again.
Well I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Don't think so.
Well that is that and this is this.
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get.
You get away from me. You get away from me.
Collected my belongings and I left the jail.
Well thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell.
I had to think awhile. I had to think awhile.
The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul.
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both grow old.
Well I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I hope so.
Well that is that and this is this.
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get.
You get away from me. (You get away from me) You get away from me.
Collected my belongings and I left the jail.
Well thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell.
I had to think awhile. (I had to think awhile) I had to think awhile.
Well that is that and this is this.
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed,
when the ocean met the sky. (You missed, you missed)
You missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye. (You missed)
When the earth folded in on itself. (You missed)
And said "Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell (You missed, you missed)
are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath." (You missed, you missed)
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death? (You missed, you missed)
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?
The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul.
The more we move ahead the more we're stuck in rewind.
Well I don't mind. I don't mind. How the hell could I mind?
Well that is that and this is this.
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get.
You get away from me. (You get away from me) You get away from me.
Well that is that and this is this.
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed,
when the ocean met the sky. (You missed, you missed)
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste the afterlife?

Review about Ocean Breathes Salty
Best song i have heard in a while! | Reviewer: 10 year old fan | 8/16/2008Very impressive, probably one of the best bands the planet has seen, heard, and researched. A band such as Modest Mouse only comes around once in a life time, you should count yourself lucky as to ever listen to this incredible band.
Ocean meets the sky... | Reviewer: Repstock | 11/29/2007
This songs lyricism contains many great passages that incites alot of visual imagery. It contains a specific visual context, in the middle of the sea as it breathes salty and all these cosmic occurences are enveloping a person. Its chorus is very catchy, but the story and phrasing of the words are its strongest suit. Wicked tune.
meaningful | Reviewer: casper | 7/9/2007
Not many songs contain such meaningful stories like this one. And what a great beat, lyrics, and chorus. Overall amazing song.
