Across The Ocean
Love Across Oceans: Embracing Distance for Affection
Lyrics
I've been down more than I've been high
I've experienced more low moments than highs
Tried my luck about a hundred times
I've taken chances numerous times
Everything I need is in the sky
Everything essential to me is in the sky
Hold my hand as the clouds are passing by
Hold my hand as life's challenges pass
Yeah they're passing by
Clouds are moving, indicating the passage of time
The clouds are passing by and you're still on my mind
Repeated longing for someone in thoughts
You're still on my mind
-You're still on my mind
-You're still on my mind
-Because I came to love you
Expressing a profound love
Across the ocean you'll be gone but right now
Despite separation, the need for love remains
I need a little bit of loving too
-A bit of loving but I came to love you
-Three thousand miles you'll be gone but right now
-I need a little bit of loving too
-Across the ocean I'll be loving you
Commitment to love across the distance
Is it better unread, when you're halfway there
Questioning the value of knowing the inevitable
Tell me is it bittersweet like a fairy tale end
Wondering if the impending separation is emotionally conflicting
You say we've only got 30 days until you fly away
Counting down the days until departure
Will you give me 29 and then one last goodbye
Request for a brief extension before the final goodbye
One last goodbye cos you're still on my mind
Continued thoughts about the person despite the imminent departure
You're still on my mind
-Because I came to love you
Reiteration of deep affection
Across the ocean you'll be gone but right now
Desire for love despite the physical separation
I need a little bit of loving too
-A bit of loving but I came to love you
-Three thousand miles you'll be gone but right now
-I need a little bit of of loving too
-Across the ocean I'll be loving you
Reaffirming commitment to love across the ocean
Across the ocean
Imagining engagement with the surroundings during the separation
Across the sea
-Three thousand miles doesn't bother me
-Across the ocean
-Across the sea
-I'll play with sand until my fingers bleed
-Across the ocean
Repetition of the longing across the ocean and sea
Across the sea
-Across the ocean
-Across the sea
-Because I came to love you
Declaring the purpose of love
Across the ocean you'll be gone but right now
Reiteration of the need for love despite the impending separation
I need a little bit of loving too
-A bit of loving but I came to love you
-Three thousand miles you'll be gone but right now
-I need a little bit of of loving too
-Across the ocean I'll be loving you
Commitment to love across the ocean
