Cover art for An Ocean Between Us lyrics by As I Lay Dying

"how many years have we waited for a ship that never set sail? and how many days have we wasted chasing a love that was not our own?" -------- Pursuing the relationship.

"i sat ashore and watched as one hopeless wave crashed upon another while my thoughts ran to the highest hills my heart never reached the sea with only delusions of an endless journey" --------- Nothing happens.

"i am left with an ocean between you and me" ------ There is still a distance between them.

"is this your salvation? is this all you can give?" ------ Is friendship as much as you can give me?

"i will not stand in reflection of someone else’s dream" ------ Being with you was my dream, but I need to let go because that dream belongs to someone else.
