We sit in silence a marriage license
Is all you know all you know, all you know

We sit and chew gum watch television
And you know and you know, and you know

But there's oceans between us
Light years that screen us
Oceans that drift away
Oceans that fade to gray

We sit and rot here resenting each year
Will you go? Will you go, will you go?

We sing the old songs the beat box plays on
And you know and you know, and you know

But there's oceans between us
Light years that screen us
Like oceans we drift away (Like)
Oceans we fade to gray

Between us there's oceans
There's life in slow motion
Quietly we drift away
Quietly we fade to gray
