Lyrics for Oil and Water

Gone when you get stuck Sleeping when you wake up Lover on the other coast Off to the races Headed other places Chasing a familiar ghost No one said it would be this hard How could I know? Why do we always get so far Before we let go? And we separate Nothing is the same forever See you drive away Wish I could make you stay Oh, oil and water Oh, oil and water Psycho seasons Watching you leaving Thinking I could change the rules Rocks on the ocean, wheels in motion Wishing is a game of fools No one said it would be this hard How could I know? Why do we always get so far Before we let go? And we separate Nothing is the same forever See you drive away Wish I could make you stay Oh, oil and water Oh, oil and water Kicking, screaming, softly speaking, near our parting ways We'll go under, oil and water always separate Kicking, screaming, softly speaking, near our parting ways We'll go under, oil and water always separate And we separate Nothing is the same forever See you drive away Wish I could make you stay Oh, oil and water Oh, oil and water Oh, oil and water Oh, oil and water
