Nacido el 8 de mayo de 1972 en Brisbane, Australia, Darren Stanley Hayes mostró interés por la música desde temprana edad. Durante su infancia y adolescencia, desarrolló una fuerte pasión por el canto y la composición. Sus primeros pasos en la música estuvieron influenciados por artistas de la talla de Michael Jackson y Madonna, quienes sirvieron como inspiración para su futuro en la industria musical.
La carrera de Hayes tomó un giro significativo en 1993 cuando conoció a Daniel Jones a través de un anuncio en una revista musical en busca de un vocalista. Este encuentro marcó el inicio de Savage Garden, un dúo que reescribiría la historia del pop de los años 90.
Tras una increíble trayectoria con Savage Garden, el dúo se disolvió en 2001. Sin embargo, esto no significó el fin de la carrera de Darren Hayes. En lugar de detenerse, decidió seguir su camino como solista, explorando nuevas facetas de su arte.
Even though I know you're gone
The memory lingers on
I see your footsteps on a sandy beach
That waves have been crashing on
Danger goes where emotion flows
I wish sometimes I'd never known love
It's dangerous the way I can't move on
lost and emotion
Only an ocean could know
The weight of the world on my shoulders
Thinking of you, my love
I wish I could drown out emotion
Until only the ocean knows
Walking down the boulevard
The water still calls your name
A thousand tides may rise and fall
But darlin' I feel the same
You said it's dangerous to love so deeply
I never cared I fell completely
It's dangerous the waves crash on the shore
But never repeating
Only an ocean could know
The weight of the world on my shoulders
Thinking of you, my love
I wish I could drown out emotion
Until only the ocean knows
Wash me away
Carry my heart on an ocean
Love has forsaken
Been taken to somebody else
I wish I could drown my emotions
Until only the ocean knows
And I still hear your song
It's in the call of the ocean
It has been here so long
Only an ocean could know
The weight of the world on my shoulders
Thinking of you my love
I wish I could drown out emotion
Until only the ocean knows
Wash me away
Carry my heart on an ocean
Love has forsaken
Been taken to somebody else
I wish I could drown my emotions
Until only an ocean
Only an ocean could know
Only an ocean could know
The weight of the world on my shoulders
Thinking of you my love
I wish I could drown out emotion
Until only the ocean (knows)
Only an ocean could know
