Oceans

You live in letters sent with shaky hands and circumstances
I bet you never thought your life could turn so tragic
A never ending summer in the sand is not vacation

I swear I saw my life flash before my eyes
As the waves came crashing down
I saw reflections of your face up in the sky
As shots fired before you heard a sound

What's it feel like to be alone?
The one you love is across the ocean
You'll never know if he's coming home
The firefight dear, it isn't over

You spend your nights drinking alone waiting for phone calls
I bet you never thought your life could seem so long
I walked the ocean floor so I could bring you home

I swear I saw my life flash before my eyes
As the waves came crashing down
I saw reflections of your face up in the sky
As shots fired before you heard a sound

What's it feel like to be alone?
The one you love is across the ocean
You'll never know if he's coming home
The firefight dear, it isn't over

Sometimes life really isn't fair
Maybe I wished too far, far from here
But all I ever wanted was for you to care
All I ever wanted was to meet you there

Sometimes life really isn't fair

I swear I saw my life flash before my eyes
As the waves came crashing down

What's it feel like to be alone?
The one you love is across the ocean
You'll never know if he's coming home
The firefight dear, it isn't over

What's it feel like to be alone?
The one you love is across the ocean
You'll never know if he's coming home
The firefight dear, it isn't over
