An Ocean in Between the Waves Songtext
von The War on Drugs

Run away, I′m a travelin' man
Been working every day
I watch you as you hesitate
Walking through the rain

I bet against the company again
They try to redefine
Everything that I know and love
Gotta know you′re mine
Yeah

Feel the way that the wild wind blows through the room
Like a nail down through the heart
That just don't beat the same anymore
It might as well be gone

I'm in my finest hour
Can I be more than just a fool?
It always gets so hard to see
Right before the moon


Far away, Ma, there′s a black sun risin′ overhead
There's a moon through the midnight rain
How can I surround myself in time and time again?
How can I be free?

Just wanna lie in the moonlight
And see the light shine in, see you in the outline
It never gets too dark to find
Anybody at any time

I′m at a darkened hillside
And there's a haze right between the trees
And I can barely see you
You′re like an ocean in between the waves

I've been waitin′, waitin'
Stallin', stallin′
I wanna rise on a road
Just let me rise up against the waves

I′ve been waitin'
Got me leaning up against
I′m alone on the wrong side
Well, you can't go back again
We′ve got to rise up against the tide
All alone, all alone


I've been waitin′
Got me leaning up against
I'm alone 'cause I can′t go back again
We′ve got to rise up against the tide
All alone, all alone

I've been waitin′
Got me leaning up against
I'm alone on the wrong side
And I can′t go back again
We've got to rise up against the fear
All the time, woo!
Alone
I′ve been waitin'
