Gone when you get stuck
Sleepin' when you wake up
Lover on the other coast
Off to the races
Headed other places
Chasing a familiar ghost
No one said it would be this hard
How could I know
Why do we always get so far
Before we let go
And we separate
Nothing is the same forever
See you drive away
Wish I could make you stay
Oh, oil and water
Oh, oil and water
Cycles, seasons, watching you leave and
Thinkin' I could change the rules
Rocks on the ocean, wheels in motion
Wishin' is a game of fools
No one said it would be this hard
How could I know
Why do we always get so far
Before we let go
And we separate
Nothing is the same forever
See you drive away
Wish I could make you stay
Oh, oil and water
Oh, oil and water
Kickin', screamin'
Softly speaking
Near are parting ways
We'll go under
Oil and water
Always separate
Kickin', screamin'
Softly speaking
Near are parting ways
We'll go under
Oil and water
Always separate
And we separate
Nothing is the same forever
See you drive away
Wish I could make you stay
Oh, oil and water
Oh, oil and water
Oh, oil and water
Oh, oil and water
