about

Open Sea, by Elsy is about the ups and downs of online dating, disguised as a cute ukulele jam I did try to make it sound a little more poetic and romantic, however. It's all the adorbs qualities of the ukulele and all the mind-boggling confusedness of online dating rolled into one.

This song is dedicated to anyone who has ever had the balls to go out and meet someone new. That shit is horrifying.

I wrote this song in one sitting, half-naked on the couch in my basement apartment after one too many bad dates.

lyrics

Open Sea

This is hard, and I'm not selfless
My path is wayward, my nights are reckless You know I'm prone to feel compared When I'm alone and left unprepared
If you're the wind then I'm the breeze Your storm begins with a kiss from me
An empty drink sits on my desk – and
The plastic cups have made a mess – and
The wine will stain the wood with rings
I know they're staying longer than you're lingering
If you're the wind then I'm the breeze Your storm begins with a kiss from me If I'm the ship then you're the sea
Your waves I grip till you set me free On the open sea
So here I stand so here I sway
I hate that my fate is to wait for your wind to blow me away I'm on the rocks thinking bout diving in again
hoping I'm a little stronger and
Holding my head above water and
If only I never got lonely
I'd build a great home here, up here on the shore dear I'd be the keeper and I'd be the catch
Cause my love is sweeter on land
If you're the wind then I'm the breeze Your storm begins with a kiss from me If I'm the ship then you're the sea Your waves I grip till you set me free On the open sea

If your the tide then I'm the rock
You'll break on me with no love lost
If I'm the shore then you're the wave
So take one more little piece of me away If I'm the ship than you're the sea Your waves I grip till you set me free On the open sea
