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 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

Over My Face 05:10
Walking in the afternoon in the same exact place Staring at the grass on the faraway side of the lake Picking my worries off these trees like they're grapes from the vine Gonna put them all in this wicker basket of mine A bird sang around in a voice that I seem to know I apologized, fed it and told it to go I thought of a beautiful painting I saw the other day She made such a lovely picture of such an ugly face But I can't paint And I don't know what to say And I don't know how long I can stay I let all the contents of this basket expire Instead of showing them to you like I know you desire I'm shouting with my body halfway in the lake As I paint ugly pictures of your beautiful face Cause I can't paint At the bottom of the lake As the still water pulls me under, I see this as fate The bird's webbed feet Paddle over my face And I don't know how long I can stay
