lyrics

There's an ocean between us, calm as the eye of a storm,
words won't break it and tears won't even cause a ripple,
I can feel the waters raging on all sides,
as we lie awake too stubborn to reach to the other side

Chorus: This California king is gonna drown me and you babe

The wind blows cold down my back,
the blanket of your body aint the only thing I know I lack,
the mist from the sea feels like needles to me,
when I'm fighting my monsters in the blue and the deep,
never meant to hurt ya babe, I was just having fun,
but ya done drew up the anchor and give up on me,
you slipped into your sleeping bag like a casualty,
you found peace in the cabin while I'm out here on my knees

Chorus

Come morning, I won't ask you to stay,
if fishing ain't the only thing you're good at, it's goin' away,
and I can't even tell ya how we got this far,
nor can I navigate the sea without a single star,
but I am the sun and I need no god damn moon

Chorus

There's an ocean between us, calm as the eye of a storm,
words won't break it and tears won't even cause a ripple
