Lirik Lagu Oceans & Engines :

[Verse 1]

Saturday sunset, we’re lying on my bed with five hours to go

Fingers entwined and so were our minds crying, “I don’t want you to go”

You wiped away tears but not fears under the still and clear indigo

You said, “Baby don’t cry, we’ll be fine, you’re the one thing I swear I can’t outgrow”

[Verse 2]

My mother said the younger me was a ‘Pretending’ prodigy well nothing, then, much has changed

Cause while you’re wolfing down liquor, my soul it gets sicker, but I’m stickin' to the screenplay, gotta say I’m okay,

but answer this babe:

How is it now that somehow you’re a stranger?

You were mine just yesterday

I pray the block in my airway dissipates and instead deters your airplane’s way

[Pre-Chorus 1]

But heaven denied

Destiny decried

Something beautiful died too soon

[Chorus]

But I’m letting go

I’m giving up the ghost

But don’t get me wrong,

I’ll always love you, that’s why I wrote you this very last song

I guess this is where we say goodbye

I know I’ll be alright

Someday I’ll be fine,

but just not tonight

[Verse 3]

Plunging into all kinds of diversions like blush wine and sonorous soirées

But even with gin and surgin’ adrenaline, I see you’re all that can intoxicate

Oceans and engines, you’re skilled at infringing on great love affairs

Cause now my heart’s home, all I’ve known, is long gone and ten thousand miles away

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And I’m not okay

[Chorus]

But I’m letting go

I’m giving up the ghost

But don’t get me wrong

I’ll always love you, that’s why I wrote you this very last song

I guess this is where we say goodbye

I know I’ll be alright

But just not -

[Bridge]

Tonight was the first time I stared into seas of beguiling sepia two years ago

And the first time I learned real world superpowers lived in three words, they revitalized my fraying bones, oh

Now what do you do when your pillar crumbled down, you’ve lost all solid ground, both dreams and demons drowned, and this void’s all you’ve found and doubts light it aglow?

I have so many questions

But I’m pouring them into the ocean and I’m starting up my engine

[Chorus]

And I’m letting go

I’m giving up your ghost

It’s come to a close

I marked the end with this last song I wrote

I’m letting go

This is the last falsetto

I’ll ever sing to you my great, lost love
