The Ocean - The Bravery

I climbed up a mountain, and looked off the edge

At all of the lives that I never have led

There’s one where I stayed with you, across the sea

I wonder, do you still think of me?

I carry your image always in my head

Folded and yellowed and torn at the edge

And I’ve look upon it for so many years

Slowly I’m losing your face

Oh, the ocean rolls us away, away, away

The ocean rolls us away

Sixes and sevens, we live on jet planes

So many faces, I don’t know the names

So many friends now, and none of them mine

Forgotten as soon as we meet

All of these moments are lost in time

But you’re caught in my head like a thorn on a vine

To forever torment me, and I wonder why

Do I wish I’d never known you at all?

Oh, the ocean rolls us away, away, away

The ocean rolls us away

Oh, the ocean rolls us away, away, away

The ocean rolls us away

The sun and the moon, an ocean of air

So many voices, and nothing is there

But the ghost of you asking me why

Why did I leave?

Oh, the ocean rolls us away, away, away

The ocean rolls us away

Oh, the ocean rolls us away, away, away

And I lose your hand through the waves
