Oceanside

she never wanted to talk 
she never wanted to argue 
but that's the way it goes 
when there's nobody listening 

eyes straight on the front line 
knee deep in the river flow 
keep your chin up, keep your back straight 
rescue's on the way 

always the keeper of secrets 
always the source of confusion 
but that's the way it goes 
when there's nobody listening 

eyes straight on the front line 
knee deep in the river flow 
keep your chin up, keep your back straight 
rescue's on the way 

nobody said this was going to be easy 
but i'll tell you what i'm gonna do 

can i take you to an oceanside 
can i take you to an oceanside 
for a few hundred years 
i'm telling you that's all i ever heard about it 
can i take you to an oceanside 

never a word of intention 
never a hope of reunion 
but that's the way it goes 
when there's nobody listening 

eyes straight on the high wire 
knee deep in the river flow 
keep your chin up, keep your back straight 
rescue's on the way 

nobody said this was going to be easy 
but i'll tell you what i'm gonna do
