House On The Ocean

[Verse 1]
Live one day where I don't look back
Find a promise still intact
Count the stars and not lose track
But I'd never find someone like you
Add up all the time I've lost
With needless worries and reckless thoughts
Pay the price and tally the cost
But I'd never find someone like you

[Chorus]
Buy a house on the ocean
Make all the old paint look new
Settle down with a new love
Convince myself it will do
I could search here forеver
'Til the coil of the last light burns through
Try as I might
I know I won't find
Anyonе quite like you

[Verse 2]
Start a fire without any sparks
The wooden soul in a kindling heart
Send smoke signals to where you are
But I'd never find someone like you

[Chorus]
Buy a house on the ocean
Make all the old paint look new
Settle down with a new love
Convince myself it will do
I could search here forever
'Til the coil of the last light burns through
But try as I might
I know I won't find
Anyone quite like you

[Verse 3]
So why would you go?
Leave me out here on my own
I still had so much to say
And I've tried but why bother?
Moonlight static and black tar water
Keep pushing you farther away

[Chorus]
Buy a house on the ocean
Make all the old paint look new
Settle down with a new love
Convince myself it will do
I could search here forever
'Til the coil of the last light burns through
Try as I might
I know I won't find
Anyone quite like you
Like you
Like you
No I'd never find someone like you
