Oceans Lyrics by Suede

Beautiful Ones - the Best of Suede 1992 - 2018

2002

[Verse 1]
We sit in silence
A marriage license
Is all you know
All you know, all you know

[Verse 2]
We sit and chew gum
Watch television
And you know
And you know, and you know

[Chorus]
But there's oceans between us
Light years that screen us
Oceans that drift away
Oceans that fade to grey

[Verse 3]
We sit and rot here
Resenting each year
Will you go
Will you go, will you go?

[Verse 4]
We sing the old songs
The beat box plays on
And you know
And you know, and you know

[Chorus]
But there's oceans between us
Light years that screen us
Like oceans we drift away
Oceans we fade to grey

[Chorus]
Between us there's oceans
There's life in slow motion
Quietly we drift away
Quietly we fade to grey

[Instrumental Outro]
[Guitar Solo]
