Ocean Away Songtext
von Barlow & Bear

What a beautiful party
I′m looking up at the ceiling a lot
The chandelier is so sparkly
You never said sorry
Guess you forgot
Or maybe you're not sorry at all

But a beautiful evening
I want to know just what the hell are you thinking
Oh so stoic, emotionless, over us all so quickly
What am I missing?

I can′t even drink champagne
No, without seeing your face
Am I the one to blame?
When we're dancing in the same room
And you're an ocean away


What a terrible soirée
With terrible people pretending they′re happy
In this masquerade
We go through the motions
When all that we wish is escape
From the choices we make

And I see her smiling
How can she be smiling?
There′s been no reconciling
And when she's at my focus
She won′t even notice my gaze
How can she be okay?

When I can't even drink champagne
No, without seeing your face
Am I the one to blame?
When we′re dancing in the same room
And you're an ocean away

Forget the ache of yesterday
And why don′t we go dancing in the rain
I know you think that I should change
But nothing in the world could sway my way

When I can't even drink champagne
Dancing in the same room
But you're an ocean away
You′re an ocean away


I can′t even drink, I can't even drink champagne
No, without hearing your name
Am I the one to blame?
When we′re dancing in the same room
But you're an ocean away
