Queens of the Stone Age

I Sat By The Ocean



Lyrics

I sat by the ocean
And drank a potion, baby, to erase you
Face down in a 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, but I don't need them too

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 night
Left with nowhere to hide

Closer...
And closer
We're crashing ships in the night
