verse #1
Houses where we used to live
Cities where we must've been

Hundreds of memories, thousands of memories, that I still can't picture myself in

Cities built on coral reef

Calendars carved in bas relief
Hundreds of days, thousands of years
Frozen in single moments


pre-chorus
Good news, well, the past can be erased

Given the earth's relentlessly shifting face
What in the world have we been working for
When all we have to do is wait some more?


chorus
You'd never have known there was ocean between us once


Strip malls now instead of woods
Bare lots where the school stood

It all looks different, all smells different,
Can't even recognize it


Render all my memories false
Hollower than sheet rock walls
Grind them to dust and blow them away and

No one would ever notice

pre-chorus

Good news, well, the past can be erased
Given the earth's relentlessly shifting face
What in the world have we been working for

When all we have to do is wait some more?

chorus

You'd never have known there was ocean between us once
