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
