Loved The Ocean

I thought you said you loved the ocean

When we were standing at the shore

You didn’t even dip your toes in but I believed you

Just took your arm

When you lie to me I smile

Cause I don’t know how long we’ve got

And when I look back at the pictures I can remember things that we’re not

I used to try to make believe you were the other half of me

Tell myself you made me better so I never had to leave

All the while I’m swimming and you’re watching from the beach

I thought you said you loved the ocean

By the time I’m back in Boston

You’ll be home in California

And by the time you finally want me

I won’t be close enough to keep you warm

And that’s my problem with emotion

There’s no controlling where it goes

One more drop is overflowing your glass is broke can’t see me anymore

I used to try to make believe you were the other half of me

Tell myself I made you better so you never had to leave

All the while I’m swimming and you’re watching from the beach

I thought you said you loved the ocean

I thought you said you loved me

I’ll give you an inkling, toss you a notion

Give you an inkling, toss you a notion

I used to try to make believe you were the other half of me

Tell myself you made you better so I never had to leave

All the while I’m swimming and you’re watching from the beach

Thought you said you loved the ocean

Thought you loved me
