about

Dovetailing between elements of Contemporary R&B, Pop and PBR&B, “Ocean on Fire” is the first official single by Dubai based singer-songwriter Shébani. Using neo-soul inspired keys driven by urban backbeats, the track ventures through the reflections of past relationships.

lyrics

Wait up
Where you think you're going
Were you not the one who said that nothing
Could ever faze you

This is
Not what I anticipated
We had plans but you had to waste them
Is there, is there someone new

And I've got half a mind
To call you out on your sh*t this time, yeah

But lord knows, he knows I'm tired
And two wrongs don't make it right

I've seen it all before
I've seen it all before
And I hate to tell you this, yeah
But we were nothing more
Than belief and denial
An ocean on fire
I've seen it all before
I've seen it all before

And now I gotta throw out
Memories that you made
Days that you shaped
Praying that wake up and realise, yeah
That you weren't exactly my type
But I cared enough to compromise
So don't feed your pride

And I've got half a mind
To call you out on your sh*t this time, yeah

But lord knows, he knows I'm tired
And two wrongs don't make it right

I've seen it all before
I've seen it all before
And I hate to tell you this, yeah
But we were nothing more
Than belief and denial
An ocean on fire
I've seen it all before
I've seen it all before

I've seen it all before
I've seen it all before
And I hate to tell you this, yeah
But we were nothing more
Than belief and denial
An ocean on fire
I've seen it all before
I've seen it all before

(And I should've known better)

Funny how things have turned out now
In an instant
This is where I turn the tables around
Keep my distance
And I should've known better
Than you were no good (you were no good)
You were no good
Funny how things have turned out now
(And I should've known better)
And I should've known better

I've seen it all before
I've seen it all before
And I hate to tell you this, yeah
But we were nothing more
Than belief and denial
An ocean on fire
I've seen it all before
I've seen it all before

I've seen it all before
I've seen it all before
And I hate to tell you this, yeah
But we were nothing more
Than belief and denial
An ocean on fire
I've seen it all before
I've seen it all before
