Oil and Water Lyrics
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
Ohh, oil and water
Ohh, 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
Ohh, oil and water
Ohh, 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
Ohh, oil and water
Ohh, oil and water
Ohh, oil and water
Ohh, oil and water
Sleeping when you wake up
Lover on the other coast
Off to the races
Headed other places
Chasing a familiar ghost
How could I know
Why do we always get so far
Before we let go
Nothing is the same forever
See you drive away
Wish I could make you stay
Ohh, oil and water
Ohh, oil and water
watching you leaving
Thinking I could change the rules
Rocks on the ocean, wheels in motion
Wishing is a game of fools
How could I know
Why do we always get so far
Before we let go
Nothing is the same forever
See you drive away
Wish I could make you stay
Ohh, oil and water
Ohh, oil and water
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
Nothing is the same forever
See you drive away
Wish I could make you stay
Ohh, oil and water
Ohh, oil and water
Ohh, oil and water
Ohh, oil and water

It's about her Husband Beau Bokan. He's the lead singer of Blessthefall. She's explaining how hard it is when he leaves for tour. It's just a sad love song explaining her pain when they have to go separate ways. It goes vice versa for when he's home and she leaves for tour.
