Analysis of OB (Ocean Beach)
If everything you wanted, seemed out of reach
Would you give up the city, and move to the beach?
To feel the sea breeze, and the sun on your face
Where everyone loves you, there is such a place
For over the seas, you'll have to go
You would be so happy, and it would show.
Would it fit your heaven, would you miss here like hell
You might never regret it, you just cannot tell
You could always come back and rejoin the game
But deep down you know, its just not the same
And you would never worry about being alone
Surrounded by strangers, never felt so like home
So think long and hard, is it somewhere you'd go
cross over the seas and let you heart glow
To give it all up, is that something you'd do
I was there in my dream, and you were there too
