Different Oceans

You and I are from different oceans I just can’t get through And still, you question my devotion Look how far I already swam for you Now, when I catch the sunrise with bloodshot eyes So strung out, worn out and rusted by the midnight rain I spend my days trying to wipe away the night, asides from that I s'pose I can't complain Now don’t think I didn’t see you, yeh the other night Out the corners of my eye Forcing styles and faking smiles And all these things that’ll kill ya, before you die You know, something I don’t You’re holding out on me, I just know The thing you've been wanting for so long Can still be wrong Now, you don’t got to be a doctor to see, I’m losing you I can taste it on your brеath Losing love is such a drag, I know But to live a lie, is just to diе a thousand deaths Now, I remember the first time I saw you, like Magdalene Your beauty hidden 'hind the haze of shame Now, I had not given the good Lord one reason to smile on me But he went and did so, just the same I don’t know what it is I saw in you — Spanish eyes or gypsy lashes Or maybe because at the end of the day you’re the only other one who knows exactly how it feels To pull into the same old station, day after day On crooked rails and worn out wheels You know something I don’t You’re holding out on me, I just know The thing you've been wanting for so long Can still be wrong, still be wrong There ain’t nothing I know of, except love Can drive a man nuts There ain’t nothing I know of, sharp enough Can stick right in your guts, in your guts So, you and I are from different oceans And our currents don’t quite connect You say I let you down Tell me — what did you expect?
