Across Oceans (a song for Sam)

Lyrics; may edit/add more

Voices singing simple songs, stretched across an ocean
we'll get there, eventually - no matter where we're going.

I choke on the words that I never wrote
now that I'm down to this one last hope
And if that's the case
then I'll find another place
Where I can hide my restless eyes
from all of the stars in the sky

Your silence means more to me
than all the shouts and screams
Your smile is like a light at night
shining in the dark, making things bright
Have we made it this far
just to forget who we are?
And I'm not sure if we'll survive another fight
I just want you here - tonight.

You may never be a rockstar
like your friends say you are
To me it will never mean anything
unless you still have the heart to sing
I hope this finds you on you well, now
before you become a sell out

I hope this means everything to you,
like it does to me...

Your silence means more to me
than all the shouts and screams
Your smile is like a light at night
shining in the dark, making things bright
Have I come this far
just to forget who you are?
And I'm not sure if we'll survive the next fight
I just want you here - tonight.

Your memory is gone
of a life you lived wrong
you can't see where its coming from...

You live like you're dead
with my words in your head
you can't start over again...
Our words cross oceans
alongside our silly notions
you can't possibly forget about me...

I hope this finds you well.

Your silence means more to me
than all the shouts and screams
Your smile is the light of my life
it brightens my day, and makes everything alright
Have you gotten this far
just to forget what you are?
I don't think you'll stay through another fight
leave it all behind, come find me - tonight.

If we could just leave (leave)
we'd be gone in a day
If we could just leave (leave)
there would be nothing left to say
If we could just leave (leave)
If we could just leave.

Your voice is a simple song
I will understand, even when it's wrong
I'm sorry that I am taking so long...

And I'm not sure if we'll make it
not sure if we'll survive
another fight.
I can't wait to see your eyes
so that this will finally be alright.
And I just want you here...
Tonight.
