an ocean between us.

How many years have we waited

For a ship that never set sail?

How many days have we wasted

Chasing a love that was not our own?

I sat ashore and watched as one

Hopeless wave crashed upon another

While my thoughts ran to the highest hills

My heart never, never reached the sea

With only delusions of an endless journey

I am left with an ocean between you and me

An ocean between...

Is this your salvation?

Is this all you can give?

I will not stand in reflection

Of someone else’s dream

The gate to my heart has been weld shut

With the splendor of my aspirations closed in

How many years have we waited

For a ship that never set sail?

How many days have we wasted

Chasing a love that was not our own?

Is this your salvation?

Is this your salvation?

Is this all you can give?

I will not stand in reflection

Of someone else’s dream

an ocean between us - as i lay dying.
