I'm the Ocean

I'm an accident

I was driving way too fast

Couldn't stop though

So I let the moment last

I'm for rollin'

I'm for tossin' in my sleep

It's not guilt though

It's not the company I keep

People my age

They don't do the things I do

They go somehwere

While I run away with you

I got my friends

And I got my children too

I got her love

She's got my love too

I can't hear you

But I feel the things you say

I can't see you

But I see what's in my way

Now I'm floatin'

Cause I'm not tied

to the ground

Words I've spoken

Seem to leave a hollow sound

On the long plain

See the rider in the night

See the chieftain

See the braves

in cool moonlight

Who will love them

When they take another life

Who will hold them

When they tremble

for the knife

Voicemail numbers

On an old computer screen

Rows of lovers

Parked forever in a dream

Screaming sirens

Echoing across the bay

To the old boats

From the city far away

Homeless heroes

Walk the streets

of their hometown

Rows of zeros

On a field

that's turning brown

They play baseball

They play football

under lights

They play card games

And we watch them every night

Need distraction

Need romance and candlelight

Need random violence

Need entertainment tonight

Need the evidence

Want the testimony of

Expert witnesses

On the brutal crimes of love

I was too tired

To see the news

when I got home

Pulled the curtain

Fell into bed alone

Started dreaming

Saw the rider once again

In the doorway

Where she stood

and watched for him

Watched for him

I'm not present

I'm a drug

that makes you dream

I'm an aerostar

I'm a cutlass supreme

In the wrong lane

Trying to turn

against the flow

I'm the ocean

I'm the giant undertow

I'm the ocean

I'm the ocean

I'm the giant undertow

I'm the ocean

I'm the giant undertow

I'm the ocean

I'm the ocean

I'm the ocean

I'm the ocean

I'm the ocean

I'm the ocean
