lyrics

Oceans Ago

We were made of stars
We were dying in cars
That was oceans ago
And I’m sure you were there
With the sun in your hair
That was oceans ago//

And I think that it happened but I might have dreamed it
I think that it happened but I might have dreamed it
We thought it was good just because it seemed it
I think that it happened but I might have dreamed it//

We believed it was true
We would know what to do
That was oceans ago
And we wouldn’t get caught
We could never be bought
That was oceans ago//

And I think that it happened but I could have dreamed it
I think that it happened but I could have dreamed it
We thought it was good just because it seemed it
I think that happened but I could have dreamed it//

I’ve got a deep misgiving
That someone else has been living my whole life
There were promises made we already betrayed
That was oceans ago, that was oceans ago//

Then the tide went out
Leaving shadows and doubt
In those oceans ago
And the tide came in
With a way to begin
That was oceans ago//

And I think that it happened but I could have dreamed it
I think that it happened but I could have dreamed it
We thought it was good just because it seemed it
I think that it happened but I could have dreamed it
And I think that it happened but I could have dreamed it
I think that it happened but I could have dreamed it
We thought it was good just because it seemed it
I think that it happened but I could have dreamed it//

Oceans ago
Yeah, that was oceans ago
That was oceans ago, oceans ago, oceans ago
We were made of stars
We were dying in cars
That was oceans ago//
