Tonight there's an ocean separating us
and a fire in my backyard to honour all the ways you kept my heart ignited
For two years I watched you press your lips together before you fell asleep
so yesterday, I pressed a flower petal in a glass frame
and hung it above my bed to remind me
of that summer you brought me to the Coast
looked out at the ocean and whispered you dreamed to be a boat
or a plane
anything that could take you away
I dreamed I could change your mind
I was an open field
You were my raging sea
I should've known time would rob you from me but I hoped
that if I attached a rope connecting you to our bedpost
you'd always find your way back to me
but I realize now you can't stop a ghost from floating
and you can't stop the wind from blowing
It was bound to happen
like I'll always be bound to you
and you'll never give a **** about me
