Oceans Apart in the Sun

[Verse 1]
Kelly Marie
you’re forgetting about me
I can feel it in the spaces
of your five word replies
Ocean between us
but it’s wider in your eyes
You’re laughing in the pictures
I’m the ghost you left behind
[Chorus]
We’re oceans apart from that night in the sun
Bare feet, salt hair, two hearts running as one
You were tracing my name on my arm just for fun
Now you’re somewhere new, and that moment is done
We’re oceans apart from that night in the sun
[Verse 2]
That night, that time
we swore we’d circle back
You drew a heart in the sand
and the tide erased our track
You said, “Love me easy
don’t you ever let me go”
Funny how forever
turned into “I gotta grow”
[Chorus]
We’re oceans apart from that night in the sun
Bare feet, salt hair, two hearts running as one
You were tracing my name on my arm just for fun
Now you’re somewhere new, and that moment is done
We’re oceans apart from that night in the sun
[Bridge]
Do you ever taste that sea air
when you kiss him in the dark? (oh)
Does that summer on your shoulders
ever burn like my old spark?
[Chorus]
We’re oceans apart from that night in the sun
Bare feet, salt hair, two hearts running as one
You were tracing my name on my arm just for fun
Yeah, you’re letting me fade, like a day that’s all run
We’re oceans apart from that night in the sun

Verses stay intimate and low, chorus opens with wider harmonies and a steady mid-tempo groove. Subtle organ pad blooms in the bridge; final chorus pulls back on the last line for a bittersweet, lingering finish., smooth
