Oceans Away

(Satellite)

Oceans Away

Standing there in front of me
I’m seeing what I want to see
I want you like I’m destitute, yeah
The girl I really think you are
Worshipfully from afar
Won’t even get next to me, yeah

You hit me like a cannonball
Shooting through this hollow scrawl
Still you don’t get me at all, yeah
I’m choked up in the stranglehold
Of everything I’ll never know
Your essence looks away from me, yeah

Consume me my sweet cannibal
Letting all our friendships fall
Are you hearing me at all, yeah
Please don’t turn away from me
There’s way more here for you to see
Won’t you find the best in me, yeah

Oceans away
Your silence separates
More than bridges you burn
It’s too soon to say
If you’ll realize
That this ship is sinking

Wishing I was someone else
Pitting me against myself
Smile and I’ll slowly melt, yeah
Chained up to your spoken mind
I’m forced to watch your beauty shine
There’s not much left of me that’s mine, yeah

Trying to say something special to you
Is like dancing with cars on the freeway
All the right things I say don’t make it through
I’m battered and bruised ‘cause you won’t play
