You and I are from different oceans

I just can’t get through

And still, you question my devotion

Look how far I already swam for you

Now, when I catch the sunrise with bloodshot eyes

So strung out, worn out and rusted by the midnight rain

I spend my days trying to wipe away the night, asides from that

I s'pose I can't complain

Now don’t think I didn’t see you, yeh the other night

Out the corners of my eye

Forcing styles and faking smiles

And all these things that’ll kill ya, before you die

You know, something I don’t

You’re holding out on me, I just know

The thing you've been wanting for so long

Can still be wrong

Now, you don’t got to be a doctor to see, I’m losing you

I can taste it on your breath

Losing love is such a drag, I know

But to live a lie, is just to die a thousand deaths

Now, I remember the first time I saw you, like Magdalene

Your beauty hidden 'hind the haze of shame

Now, I had not given the good Lord one reason to smile on me

But he went and did so, just the same

I don’t know what it is I saw in you — Spanish eyes or gypsy lashes

Or maybe because at the end of the day you’re the only other one who knows exactly how it feels

To pull into the same old station, day after day

On crooked rails and worn out wheels

You know something I don’t

You’re holding out on me, I just know

The thing you've been wanting for so long

Can still be wrong, still be wrong

There ain’t nothing I know of, except love

Can drive a man nuts

There ain’t nothing I know of, sharp enough

Can stick right in your guts, in your guts

So, you and I are from different oceans

And our currents don’t quite connect

You say I let you down

Tell me — what did you expect?
