Lyrics

There's a freeway running constantly outside
It's right outside our yard
We can pretend that it's the ocean
There's a problem with anxiety and anger
'Cause this life is really hard
but we can listen to the ocean

There's not a lot of love to share
We run around on empty
And these days it's a struggle to relate to anyone
It takes a lot to go on
When the upside's never plenty
But we can take it slow hon
Dreaming of the ocean
Happy just to know that there's another wave to come

There's a warning out for hurricanes and earthquakes
Armageddon's almost here
And I love your smile
It's a natural disaster when we freeze up in the face of fear
So let's just throw it to the ocean babe

There not a lot of love to share
We run around on empty
And these days it seems everybody's fearful of the sun
It takes a lot to go on
When the upside's never plenty
But we can take it slow hon
Dreaming of the ocean
Happy just to know that there's another wave to come
