Jack Johnson - Only The Ocean

I'm really digging Jack Johnson's new album To The Sea, and I'm especially into the final track 'Only The Ocean'. I don't know what it is, but I can't stop playing the song. It's hitting me so damn hard these last few days.
After all this time
After all of these seasons
After your own decision
To go to the water for a reason
It's only the ocean and you
And all of this lines
Will all be erased soon
They go out with the tide
And come back with the waves
It's only the ocean and you
You don't want
You don't wait
You don't love
But you don't hate
You just roll over me
And you pull me in
When this work is done
And this coat is dry
When this world is too much
It will be only the ocean and me
When these sails go up
Mountains fade away
Stars come out
I'm finally free
Now it's only the ocean and me
You don't want
You don't wait
You don't love
But you don't hate
You just roll over me
And you pull me in
And you pull me in
After all this time
After all of these seasons
After your own decision
To go to the water for a reason
It's only the ocean and you
And all of this lines
Will all be erased soon
They go out with the tide
And come back with the waves
It's only the ocean and you
You don't want
You don't wait
You don't love
But you don't hate
You just roll over me
And you pull me in
When this work is done
And this coat is dry
When this world is too much
It will be only the ocean and me
When these sails go up
Mountains fade away
Stars come out
I'm finally free
Now it's only the ocean and me
You don't want
You don't wait
You don't love
But you don't hate
You just roll over me
And you pull me in
And you pull me in

I thought the same thing! I gave the album its first listen-through sitting on my local beach. I started cracking up within the first few seconds of the song. Still love the song.
