Oceans Away Lyrics
Figure since I'm so far gone, oceans away,
I can lay my saber down today.
I miss the words I love,
The words you did not say.
I miss the kiss you never gave away.
There goes the sun, oceans away
And days die young, when you're gone
And you're gone
There goes the sun, oceans away
And leaves the day for someone else
Honestly I thought that we could make it all the way,
Barefoot on beaches dancing against the gray.
But stone by stone the castle crumbled to the ground,
I stood and stared as you started to fall into the waves.
There goes the sun, oceans away
And days die young, when you're gone
And you're gone
There goes the sun, oceans away
And leaves the day for someone else
Here's to the man of your dreams.
I take it all in a box and make my way down to the shore,
Throw it in and begin to leave it to the waves.
I can lay my saber down today.
I miss the words I love,
The words you did not say.
I miss the kiss you never gave away.
And days die young, when you're gone
And you're gone
There goes the sun, oceans away
And leaves the day for someone else
Barefoot on beaches dancing against the gray.
But stone by stone the castle crumbled to the ground,
I stood and stared as you started to fall into the waves.
And days die young, when you're gone
And you're gone
There goes the sun, oceans away
And leaves the day for someone else
Throw it in and begin to leave it to the waves.

I love this song.
This is a fantastic song. One of the best off of Reason. Here's an article with Isaac talking about it:
"When I was 19, I started looking at the songs and how all my friends weren't connecting with my music. I pretty much threw them away, literally, and then broke up with my first girlfriend and chose to throw caution to the wind and write about that. That's actually a song on our second EP called "Ocean's Away." It was actually the first song I wrote about my life." -Isaac
this song is simply about a breakup, of maybe younger people. hes saying he really thought it would work and last FOREVER, but it isnt going to. it also shows that young people should get rid of thier ideals about true love, and that their one teen love will last forever. the whole thing with the castle crumbling to the ground. and then when it says "Here's to the man of your dreams.
I take it all in a box and make my way down to the shore, Throw it in and begin to leave it to the waves." it says to let go of your ideal man, because life just isnt perfect like that. great song!!

^^ that is the best part.. it's such a great analogy to thinking that your relationship could last and then just watching it fall away and wondering what happened.. siiiigh!
Yeah I know right! I've unfortunatley had that happen to me :( But I'm over it :)

i rekon its about knowing the girl you love has found sombody new but your still in love, that last part means hes taking all his love and letting it get washed away coz he knows it over
This song is def about a breakup.. I think the last line is about getting rid of all your memories of the other person. It's like, getting rid of the shoebox of memorabilia/souvenirs that remind you of someone.
I can listen to this song all the time. Wow.
"I miss the words I love, the words you did not say". It seems that there were some commitment issues in this relationship, but the "kiss you never gave away" makes it seem like there was never much to the relationship to start with.
"I take it all in a box and make my way down to the shore, Throw it in and begin to leave it to the waves." This reminds me of people's ashes after cremation, throwing it to the sea. The relationship is already dead, and it's time to move on.
i'm inclined to agree with hopeful canyon...
i think this guy is head over heels stupidly in love with this girl who is a very close friend to him, (hence: Honestly I thought that we could make it all the way, Barefoot on beaches dancing against the gray). However, he wants more, and he finally decided to let it all hang out and tell her, and she didn't respond in kind. She doesn't want more, and now he's left to deal with it.
by the way, this is one of my favorites right now with the way my life's flowin along
