Oceans Apart

from First Flight by Oakes & Smith

/

lyrics

Love used to be
As easy as holding a hand
I knew that you could understand
Nothing was spoken
Yet something was open in me

But now it's all changed
The distance is starting to show
There's more in my heart than you know
We're both on our islands
And silently drifting away

We are oceans apart
And I am trying to swim to you
Come drain this waterlogged heart
Please, I'm trying to talk to you

I went out to sea
And landed on far, foreign sands
Strange faces in faraway lands
Speaking a language
No on back home understands

We are oceans apart ...

Just because my horizons are expanding
Doesn't mean I'm abandoning you
It's different but each day that passes,
I feel more at home here
Feeling somehow I belong
I wish I could bring you along
And show you how strong I've become
Exploring out here on my own
