Evergreen 02:38
high tides are coming jump down into these waves leave behind known sandy shores take in the rocky ground high tides are coming jump down into these waves parting currents will guide you rolling hills are all around turn over a new leaf now the crisp fall is here this land awaits my feet how will my home be when I’m far away? now the crisp fall is here this land awaits my feet how will my home be when I’m far away? I am evergreen my roots run deep I am evergreen my roots run deep

The Dock 02:26
sitting on the dock the water cloaked in fog words leave your lips with unknown artistry breezes drift in and away trading conversations drunken voices in the old bar laughter in the corner house the windows stay open the white light from across the bay glows through the dark in the lull of our conversations we know, we know, we know, we know, we know in months the snow will come this summer town is slow I'll have much to reminisce whose grey and white cat explores blue hydrangea under moonlight? its green eyes reflect mine the hidden beach stays misty on the corner of water and hill street on the corner of water and hill street on the corner of water and hill street sitting on the dock the water cloaked in fog words leave your lips with unknown artistry

Jealousea 02:44
I know a glass half full of darkness I safely kept away for wintry dawns and dusks my mind is a maze I never met that side of me my evil eye enemy She craves all concern "I won't be long, I'm back for you" pull me out of this tide I'm stuck in the Jealousea I never met that side of me my evil eye enemy She craves all concern "I won't be long, I'm back for you" Lady Jealousy take your waves away from me

Two 04:12
you didn’t know I looked upon him as if it were the first time we met I am balanced by my secret wildcard the two of hearts I’ll never place it into the game we start I’ll always hold the two of hearts in my hand I see that look of curiosity I suppose you could leave your home and join this infidelity with me with me I wish I knew, I really do why I like that blond hair so much take me to a stage to dance with me all night and hold me tight I’ll always ace it let’s get into the game we start I'll always hold the two of hearts in my hand I see that look of curiosity I suppose you could leave your home and join this infidelity with me with me I’ll be waiting for you when the grass is green again and the sky fades away from grey to blue I’ll be waiting for you

I was blinded for a long time trapped in someone else’s love I couldn’t see me, I couldn’t see me I was in his heart, but he was not in mine no restitution for my vision, until you found my eyes you looked in them deeply and saw me truly broke the walls and set me free you are my true love stars shine bright for us I bury my head in your chest just to get closer to your heart, your heart your heart I love you like a sno-cone on a summer day that leaves my lips cherry red with a sweet taste the unsophisticated jokes you make, well you laugh anyway golden flecks in your eyes sparkle back into mine I’ll be here for you I’ll be here you are my true love stars shine bright for us I bury my head in your chest just to get closer to your heart, your heart your heart you are my true love stars shine bright for us I bury my head in your chest just to get closer to your heart, your heart your heart
6.
Always 03:10
I see the fear in your eyes though you smile through it all eternal war in your mind trying not to lose control wander my way, find me when you’re overthrown because you’re never alone you’re always on my mind you’re running through my dreams all day and all night don’t say goodbye, say hello to a new day I’ll always be by your side, by your side you see me as one step ahead, but I’m falling behind and nobody knows I can’t stop thinking, I’m losing control wander my way, find me I’m overthrown because I’m always alone you’re always on my mind you’re running through my dreams all day and all night don’t say goodbye say hello to a new day, I need you by my side, by my side I concealed my own confessions, but with you they cannot hide I concealed my own transgressions, but with you they cannot hide and honestly we’re never alone, we’re on each other’s minds we’re running through our dreams all day and all night don’t say goodbye, I’ll see you tomorrow anyway I’ll always be by your side, by your side
7.
Moon 02:23
every hello is like the first electricity draws me in but no one is how they seem at first like how silvery moonlight is so calm but only a mirage of the sun's burning rays thunder crowds the mossy wetland my boots are stuck in I remember the days when it was bright and new oh moon, what happened to you? oh moon, I got caught up in your reflection when I was a kid I had a dream of a foggy night and a deadly tree the sky was lit by the full satellite my nights are often haunted now old nightmares creeps in I can’t shake the past from my present oh moon, what happened to you? oh moon, I am looking at your reflection I am looking at your reflection
8.
Haircut 01:30
I'll cut my hair as many times as I need to feel clean layered locks rest upon my shoulders light and dark still feeling heavy I guess you didn't know that haircuts mean goodbye so I rid myself of your sickly sweet nothings and left this year my hair grew out and I am no one's own next time fix yourself before you try to fix me this week I'll cut my hair just for fun
9.
alone in a choir is a lonely place to be I flip the pages of controversy embrace my sexuality but are you sure we aren’t in a museum? well I like to window-shop too to window-shop for you can these pictures be for power and for pleasure power and for pleasure? I crave brains I crave brains I love my men but am I allowed to love you? oh I crave brains I crave brains I love my men but I’ll do who I wanna do neon strings, strappy things sandy cheeks on the women smiles only last ‘cause they’re printed look at my body in real life, look at my body in real life I wanna show you what it’s like, I wanna show you what it’s like to feel alive I crave brains I crave brains on the beach to each their own bodies oh, I crave brains I crave brains on the beach to each their own bodies
10.
Drive 03:36
love songs are overrated except the ones I learn from you romance makes me feel jaded but I'm not jaded with you I want to know you better take me for a drive I want to know you better take me for a drive fantasies and observations I daydream at night maybe you are the puzzle piece I need in my life I want to know you better take me for a drive I want to know you better take me for a drive you linger on my mind I am whole again you linger on my mind I am whole again you linger on my mind I am whole again I want to know you better take me for a drive I want to know you better take me for a drive love songs are overrated except the ones I learn from you

summer shorelines wake at sunrise beckoning me to visit again all I hear is the voice of the sea telling me, telling me “sit on my rocks, watch clouds drift off throw away your sorrows and start again please, I implore close your eyes and listen I’ll draw you near so you can keep my secrets here” here is the place the place to be set free with the wind in my face I never want to leave peace is at its peak, the senses serene open up my mind, ocean tell me I’m fine the water’s waves speak right below my feet splashing on the rocks and wetting the summer heat all I hear is the voice of these waves telling me, telling me “we will crash upon your shore and lift the stories hidden from this dark, soft sand sink your feet into the land and your worries fall off your shoulders into tumbling currents” now I know myself now I know myself now I know myself now I know here is the place the place to be set free with the wind in my face I never want to leave peace is at its peak, the senses serene open up my mind, ocean tell me I’m fine

about

Virgo Verse wrote "Ocean Tell Me" throughout high school and her cross country move to California to study at CalArts. This debut album includes some of the first songs she ever wrote and is a collection of her coming of age experiences in her hometown and on. Many beaches and bodies of water across the United Stated inspired these songs including Lake Crescent, Hood Canal, and Padanaram Harbor. She hopes this album reminds you of looking out to sea or wherever you happen to find comfort in nature.
