[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] No one said it would be this hard How could I know? Why do we always get so far before we let go? [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Cycle season Watching you leaving Thinking I could change the rules Rocks on the ocean, wheels in motion Wishing is a game of fools [Pre-Chorus] No one said it would be this hard How could I know? Why do we always get so far before we let go? [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] Kicking, screaming, softly speaking, near or parting ways We'll go wander, oil and water always separate Kicking, screaming, softly speaking, near or parting ways We'll go wander, oil and water always separate [Chorus] 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
