We sit in silence

A marriage license

Is all you know

All you know, all you know



We sit and chew gum

Watch television

And you know

And you know, and you know



But there's oceans between us

Light years that screen us

Oceans that drift away

Oceans that fade to grey



We sit and rot here

Resenting each year

Will you go?

Will you go, will you go?



We sing the old songs

The beat box plays on

And you know

And you know, and you know



But there's oceans between us

Light years that screen us

Like oceans we drift away

[Like] oceans we fade to grey



Between us there's oceans

There's life in slow motion

Quietly we drift away

Quietly we fade to grey
