Ocean Blvd

[Verse 1]
God, I miss the ocean so much these days
I'm stuck inside this traffic on the freeway
You know I've been saving up
And you know I've been waking up
Early just to make it all okay
Lately I've been really needing distance
She tells me that I've been acting different
I know that I've changed a lot
The person that you fell in love-
Is fighting many battles, oh these days

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been stripped away from where I want
And I know I don't call enough but
Know that you're forever in my soul
I've been trying real hard to make you proud
I hope one day I figure this shit out
Know that I will never let you go

[Chorus]
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
To Ocean Blvd...
(Ohh) (Ocean)

[Verse 2]
Lately I've been taking in the night drives
I pretend I'm back home and I close my eyes
The memories blow in the wind
Now everything's so different
You wouldn't like the person that I've been
God, I miss hearing the sound of waves crash
Every year is passing faster than the last
I open up my eyes again
Hit 90, whats the speed limit?
I cannot stay here another year

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been stripped away from where I want
And I know I don't call enough but
Know that you're forever in my soul
I've been trying real hard to make you proud
I hope one day I figure this shit out
Know that I will never let you go

[Bridge]
Yeah
Lately been falling apart
I've been getting farther
I've been getting faster
I just wanna go back to the start
A time where all this really never mattered
I just want the ocean
I just want my family
Wish that I could go
So I could take advantage
Of the time we had
Instead of these distractions
I just hope you know-
That you're on my mind, right now

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been stripped away from where I want
And I know I don't call enough but
Know that you're forever in my soul
I've been trying real hard to make you proud
I hope one day I figure this shit out
Know that I will never let you go

[Chorus]
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
To Ocean Blvd...
(Ohh) (Ocean)
