Sydney

These ocean currents come pulling in

This is our only time to have this win

I look over to you with your sunglasses

You make those side smile dashes

I remember all the times we could have had

Oh, how it made me feel so mad

Not to take those distant chances

For those all night dances

Running around with your hand by my side

Let’s go somewhere and take our secret hide

You brushed your hair over the dock

All these memories that never passed the clock

I’m the romantic hopeless

You’re such a hot mess

Let’s stay together, my dear

That’s the only thing left I fear

How long will it be for us to stay this way?

All the words I am never able to say

Before you leave and never return

How many times I had my stomach churn

From these failed pasts and potential love aches

Crashing onto your shore with the dozen mistakes

You wiped away the crushing fury with a tear

We’ll meet again someday, don’t fret my dear

Comforting words, holding onto my Sydney

We’ll meet again someday; you’ll be dear to me

Traveling together forever, that never was to be
