The sofa king sits And changes commercials Squeezes the last drop of beer from the can An old football hero Who's rarely nostalgic Stares at the mantle where the trophies still stand And he looks out over the ocean That covered these canyons and caves And remembers his every intention To swim out past the waves To swim out past the waves She loves old movies And the young Audrey Hepburn She hasn't seen 'em all, but she plans to someday Inspired by Oprah She wants more from living Than working the checkout at IGA She looks out over the ocean Covered these canyons and caves And remembers her every intention
To swim out past the waves To swim out past the waves I'm tired And I'm fed up Will these feelings ever let up? Am I fading Or am I crazy? Do these days just leave without me? Triple-A maps With coffee-stained circles Sit on the dashboard and fade in the sun She turns on the main road He turns on the radio Peering out the window, not a sound from either one As they look out over the ocean That covered these canyons and caves And remember their every intention To swim out past the waves As they swim out past the waves To swim out past the waves As they swim out past the waves
