[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
No one said it would be this hard
How could I know?
Why do we always get so far before we let go?

[Chorus]
And we separate
Nothing is the same forever
See you drive away
Wish I could make you stay
Oh, oil and water
Oh, oil and water

[Verse 2]
Cycles, seasons
Watching you leaving
Thinking I could change the rules
Rocks on the ocean, wheels in motion
Wishing is a game of fools
[Pre-Chorus]
No one said it would be this hard
How could I know?
Why do we always get so far before we let go?

[Chorus]
And we separate
Nothing is the same forever
See you drive away
Wish I could make you stay
Oh, oil and water
Oh, oil and water

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
And we separate
Nothing is the same forever
See you drive away
Wish I could make you stay
Oh, oil and water
Oh, oil and water
Oh, oil and water
Oh, oil and water
