An attempt to make a Love song without ever actually using the word 'love'. Way harder than it sounds.
lyrics
He was a boy of good intentions
he lived on Highway 101
Sold the surf by day, and wrote songs for no one
She was a girl of high expectation.
She lived her life like a smoking gun,
But they would lose their lives to each other that night.
as they sang
Oceans come between us, and I'm trying to find my way
to make it back to you, and all the things you do.
through our trials and tribulations,
my sweet anticipations,
I'm still trying my best,
still tryijng to find my way back to your door.
At night they would go wild
they'd leave each other waiting
beyond the asphault and the tapestries of night
And of course the parents would disagree,
but I swear to god, between you and me
I'm not too sure they'd care that much at all
as they sang
Oceans come between us, and I'm trying to find my way
to make it back to you, and all the things you do.
through our trials and tribulations,
my sweet anticipations,
I'm still trying my best,
still tryijng to find my way back
Oh, it all seemed so harmless
It all seemed so pure
Oh, it all seemed so harmless
It all seemed so pure
Oh, it all seemed so harmless
It all seemed so pure
Oh, it all seemed so harmless
It all seemed so pure
And Oceans come between us, and I'm trying to find my way
to make it back to you, and all the things you do.
through our trials and tribulations,
my sweet anticipations,
I'm still trying my best,
still tryijng to find my way back to your door
