I Sat by the Ocean - 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
