Ocean in Between

We're two sailors in a sea of other people
Always getting pushed off course by the wind
Patiently waiting just for me to reach you
But like the tide in the morning, you'll recede again

The text you sent last night at 11:38
I couldn't tell your mood, but I knew that you weren't sober
The amount of exclamation marks just gave it away
I wish I could have been with you, I wish that we were closer

But we're half a world apart
With an ocean in between
Half a world apart
An ocean in between

The stars look nice as I drive through the city
But they don't make much sense, I hope you're aware
It takes thousands of years for light to travel the distance
So the stars that shine might no longer be there

And sometimes I worry that that's what'll happen to us
I can picture your face so vivid in my mind
But while we're apart you'll vanish like stardust
And once I've made it across, you'll be nowhere in sight

Cause we're half a world apart
With an ocean in between
Half a world apart
An ocean in between

We're half a world apart
With an ocean in between
Half a world apart
An ocean in between

Shine a light on me
I'm making my way to you, or I'm drowning

We're half a world apart
With an ocean in between
Half a world apart
