I Sat By The Ocean
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I sat by the ocean
And drank a potion
Baby, to erase you
Face down in the boulevard
Yet I couldn't face you
There ain’t no use in crying
It doesn't change anything
So baby, what good does it do?
Your friends, they all sympathize
Maybe I don’t need them to
Imagined I'd be your one and only
Instead I'm the lonely one
You, me and a lie
Silence is closer
We’re passing ships in the night
There’s nowhere to run away
Said: Boy, if you want love
You’ll have to go and find it with someone new
Do you know who you really are?
Are you sure it’s really you?
Lies are a funny thing
They slip through your fingertips
Because they never happened to you
Time wounds all the heals
As we fade out of view
Imagined I'd be your one and only
Instead I'm the lonely one
You, me and a lie
Silence is closer
We’re passing ships in the night
You, me and a lie
Silence is closer
We’re passing ships in the night
Into the light, left with nowhere to hide
Closer and closer
We’re crashing ships in the night
