Back when that song was a song I could sing along without thinkin bout you every time it came on Every beat, every line, every word, every time When a road was a road I could roll on through without wishin that empty seat was you Money was gas, dreams

It feels like there's oceans Between you and me We hide our emotions But it feels like there's oceans Yeah I want you And nothing comes close To the way that I need you I wish I can feel your skin

I am the voice of never, never land The innocence, the dreams of every man Every chimney, every moonlit sight Every memory that you hold dear I am the empty crib of Peter Pan, A soaring kite against the blue, blue sky, I am the story that will read you

To make me think that There's still hope for us But in the end it's only me Wishing I could be Wishing I still was But every time I think I've had enough He comes around and wraps me up in love And I wind up giving in

It feels like there's oceans Between you and me We hide our emotions But it feels like there's oceans Yeah I want you And nothing comes close To the way that I need you I wish I can feel your skin

I won't run away no more, I promise Even when I get bored, I promise Even when the ship is wrecked, I promise Tie me to the rotten deck, I promise Even when you lock me out, I promise I say my prayers every night, I promise I don't wish that I'm spread,

There would be a riot Breakin' up my heart, I'd try to fight it If I ever lost you I could go out every night but I'd be lyin' If I said I could live and breathe There'd be a lot of lonely Wishin' and prayin' that you would hold me Come back to me

"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell

If I'm lucky, There will be a time and a place, You'll kiss me, we'll embrace; In that moment, Every wishful dream I ever knew Will come true; I will go through the years with you. You will tell me that you care, That we'll never be apart.

Beneath the curse of these lovers eyes But do not ask the price I pay I must live with my quiet rage Tame the ghosts in my head That run wild and wish me dead Should you shake my ash to the wind Lord forget all of my sins And let me die where I lie I
