I Sat by the Ocean Songtext
von Queens of the Stone Age

I sat by the ocean
And drank a potion, baby, to erase you
Face down in the boulevard, yet I couldn′t face you

There ain't no use in crying
It doesn′t change anything, so baby, what good does it do?
Your friends, they all sympathize, maybe I don't need them to

Imagined I'd be your one and only
Instead I′m the lonely one
You, me and a lie
Silence is closer, we′re passing ships in the night


There's nowhere to run away
Said, "Boy, if you want love
You′ll have to go and find it with someone new"
"Do you know who you really are? Are you sure it's really you?"

Lies are a funny thing
They slip through your fingertips
Because they never happened to you
Time wounds all the heals as we fade out of view

Imagined I′d be your one and only
Instead I'm the lonely one
You, me and a lie
Silence is closer, we′re passing ships in the night
You, me and a lie
Silence is closer, we're passing ships in the night
Into the light, left with nowhere to hide

Closer and closer, we're crashing ships in the night
