Oceans

The corners of your mouth have this funny way of
Telling if your smile is real or if it's hiding something else
It's so easy to talk about the things we might become
Before one of us goes out to make it happen

We stop and start again, talking bit by bit
A gradual crescendo 'til it gets too much to handle
These desperate attempts to write new stories on old pages
Where the ink from before completes the words we're saying now

And I can't let you go
And you can't let me go

And I know I'll be okay, but it's hard to keep my
Head above these waves, we're drowning in the
Ocean that we made, to keep us apart
To keep us apart

But I've got this funny feeling pulling at my brain
Every time my phone lights up and I can see your name
The way that we keep talking when the world has gone to sleep
Or the way that smile stays on your lips when you look back at me

I know I'll be okay, but it's hard to keep my
Head above these waves, we're drowning in the
Ocean that we made, to keep us apart
To keep us apart

We just want the best for each other
So why can't we let go?

And where do we go from here?
Yeah where do we go from here?

I know I'll be okay, but it's hard to keep my
Head above these waves, we're drowning in the
Ocean that we made, to keep us apart
Yeah it keeps us apart
