Can you see through my eyes, into malaise
On bleak days when the clouds don't allow the sun's rays
To pierce the sky and melt my frozen heart
Or are we too far apart

We share some day, we share some of the night
But my world is still dark when your world becomes light
And I stay up and think while you are asleep
Of how to float in water so deep

Are you worried?
Are you scared?
So am I
It feels like there's an ocean between us sometimes

If the route to your heart is to leaf through your pages
As stories untold unfold and get tangled
Like bodies in bed, like the thoughts in my head
Like a promise that's left unsaid

Then my path would be known through the thick, overgrown
Where the shades of old flames make the air stick and moan
Where any skew in my gait will try to adulterate
All the precious feelings I own

Are you worried?
Are you scared?
So am I
It feels like there's an ocean between us sometimes

I'm coated in the sediment of good faith and sentiment
If life tastes bitter, she is cinnamon and peppermint
A cup to hold all that's divine, a breath of hope into my mind
A constellation I could find

But I can't love you like the stars above you
It's not enough for me to only dream of you
I need by my side one whose moon bends her tide
In the same way that it bends mine

Are you worried?
Are you scared?
So am I
It feels like there's an ocean between us sometimes

It Feels Like There's An Ocean Between Us Sometimes
