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 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

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
