An Ocean Apart
Love's Fragile Promise Across Distances
Lyrics
Now we are together
Being together presently
Sitting outside in the sunshine
Enjoying a pleasant moment outdoors in the sun
But soon we'll be apart
Anticipation of separation in the near future
And soon it'll be night at noon
Symbolic contrast of impending darkness in the midst of day
Now things are fine
Current situation is good
The clouds are far away up in the sky
Peaceful state with troubles distant like clouds in the sky
But soon I'll be on a plane
Upcoming departure via airplane
And soon you'll feel the cold rain
Indication of the other person experiencing emotional distress
You promised to stay in touch when we're apart
Pledge to maintain communication during separation
You promised before I left that you'll always love me
Assurance of enduring love before departure
Time goes by and people cry and everything goes too fast
Reflection on the passage of time, sadness, and life's pace
Now we have each other
Currently sharing moments together
Enjoying each moment with one another
Appreciating the present time spent with each other
But soon I'll be miles away
Imminent physical distance separating them
And soon the phone will be our only way
Reliance on phone communication during separation
Now I'm in your arms
Feeling warmth and affection in each other's embrace
Feeling pure love and warm
Anticipation of loneliness when apart
But soon I'll be alone
Expected change in emotional connection due to distance
And soon your voice will change of tone
Probable alteration in tone or emotion in spoken communication
You promised we'll never break up over the telephone
Promised commitment to avoid breakup via phone
You said our love was stronger than an ocean apart
Belief in the strength of love despite physical separation
Time goes by and people lie and everything goes too fast
Observation on the passing of time, deceit, and life's pace
Let's not fool ourselves in vain
Realization of potential hardships due to distance
This far away trip will give us pain
Acknowledgment of the pain caused by the distant journey
We'll have to be so strong
Recognition of the necessity for emotional strength during separation
To keep our love from going wrong
Effort required to maintain the relationship during the separation
Distance will make us cold
Expectation of emotional distance due to physical distance
Even put our love on hold
Possibility of relationship strain or temporary pause due to distance
But soon we'll meet again
Anticipation of reunion in the future
And soon it'll be bright at noon again
Hope for a brighter future together despite imminent separation
You promised not to loose faith in our love when I'm away
Request to maintain belief in their love during separation
You promised so much to me but now you've left me
Expression of feeling abandoned despite promises
We go by and then we lie and all this time we wasted
Reflection on deceit and wasted time in the relationship
Time goes by and people lie and everything goes too fast.
Observation on the passing of time, deceit, and life's pace
Time went by and then we died and everything went too fast
Reflecting on the passage of time leading to an end
Everything went too fast
Noting the fast pace of events leading to an end
Everything went too fast
Reiteration of events passing too quickly towards an end
Everything went too fast
