Oceans and Engines

[Verse 1]
Saturday sunset-- we’re lying on my bed with five hours to go
Fingers entwined and so were our minds crying 'I don’t want you to go'
You wiped away tears but not fears under the still and clear indigo
You said, ‘Baby don’t cry, we’ll be fine, you’re the one thing I swear I can’t outgrow’

[Verse 2]
My mother said the younger me was a 'Pretending' prodigy well nothing, then, much has changed
Coz while you’re wolfing down liquor, my soul it gets sicker, but I’m stickin' to the screenplay, gotta say I’m okay
But answer this babe:
How is it now that somehow you’re a stranger; you were mine just yesterday—
I prayed the block in my airway dissipates and instead deters your airplane’s way

[Pre-Chorus 1]
But heaven denied
Destiny decried
Something beautiful died
Too soon

[Chorus]
But I’m letting gooooooooo
I’m givin’ up the ghost
But don’t get me wrong
I’ll always love you that’s why
I wrote you this very last song
I guess this is where we say goodbye
I know I’ll be alright
Someday I’ll be fine
But just not tonight

[Verse 3]
Plunging into all kinds of diversions like blush wine and sonorous soirees
But even with gin and surgin’ adrenaline I see you’re all that can intoxicate
Oceans and Engines, you’re skilled at infringin' on great love affairs
'cause now my heart’s home -- all I’ve known -- is long gone and 10 thousand miles away

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I’m not okay

[Chorus]
But I’m letting gooooooooo
I’m givin’ up the ghost
But don’t get me wrong
I’ll always love you and that’s why
I wrote you this very last song
I guess this is where we say goodbye
I know I’ll be alright
But just not-

[Bridge]
Tonight was the first time I stared into seas of beguiling sepia two years ago
And the first time
I learned real world superpowers lived in three words and could revitalize my frayin’ bones
Now what do you do when
Your pillar crumbled down, you’ve lost all solid ground, both dreams and demons drowned, and this void is all you’ve found and doubts light it aglow?
I have so many questions
But I’m pourin them into the ocean and I’m starting up my engine

[Chorus]
And I’m letting go
I’m givin’ up your ghost
It’s come to a close
I marked the end with this last song I wrote

[Outro]
I’m letting go
This is the last falsetto
I’ll ever sing to you my great, lost love
