Gone when you get stuck
Sleeping 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 leaving
Thinking I could change the rules
Rocks on the ocean, wheels in motion
Wishing 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
Kicking, screaming, softly speaking, near our parting ways
We'll go under, oil and water always separate
Kicking, screaming, softly speaking, near our 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
