The Ocean Is A Fuck Of A Long Way To Swim
Longing Across Oceans: A Tale of Love's Distance
Lyrics
Now you say you're going away, leaving on a plane
Expressing the departure of someone on a plane
But your memory remains
Despite the physical absence, memories of the person persist
Our only contact is this telephone
Telephone as the only means of contact
These phone lines where I keep my home
The significance of phone lines in maintaining a connection
Are driving me insane
Feeling distressed or overwhelmed by the separation
The ocean is a fuck of a long way to swim
Emphasizing the vastness and difficulty of crossing the ocean
But I'd do it in a whim
Expressing a willingness to overcome challenges for the person
I'd dive into the deep blue sea
Expressing a readiness to dive into deep waters for love
Just so you could be with me
Highlighting the extreme measures the speaker would take
Those guys from Alcatraz with their raincoat boats
Comparing the speaker's commitment to Alcatraz prisoners
Ain't got nothing on me
Claiming superiority over the mentioned individuals
I'd dive into the deep blue sea
Reiteration of the willingness to dive for love
Just so you could be with me
Reaffirming the extreme measures for the sake of the relationship
I only hope that as the time rolls by
Expressing a concern about the passage of time and potential separation
That you won't find another guy
Fear of the partner finding someone else in the speaker's absence
You won't forget my face
Desire for the partner to remember the speaker's face
You know that I will always think of you
Assuring the partner of continuous thoughts and feelings
And what on earth I'd ever do
Expressing uncertainty about coping if love is replaced
If our love should be replaced
Fear of the relationship being replaced
I miss you in the worst of ways,
Expressing strong feelings of longing and absence
I wish tomorrow was today
Wishing for a quicker reunion
So we could be together forever anyway
Expressing a desire for an everlasting togetherness
I swear just standing on the Jersey shore
Visualizing being near the partner on the Jersey shore
I can almost see your door
Imagining seeing the partner's door from a distance
Then we could be together forever anyway
Reiterating the desire for eternal togetherness
