lyrics

12. A Drop In The Ocean
1. She's dreams about the future
He's living in the past
He's planning for forever
She knows it's just not going to last
They're still dancing together
But not to the same tune
She's dancing in the sunlight
He's howling at the moon

From a drop in the ocean
To a wave hitting the shore
They've spun the wheel of devotion
And it came crashing to the floor

2. They used to do things together
Like French restaurants going dutch
Like walking by the river
Now they just watch TV too much
They've got to block out the silence
Paper over the devide
They're running from the distance
But there's no place left to hide

From a drop in the ocean
To a wave hitting the shore
They're just going through the motions
And love is there no more

(bridge)
He lost his head
His heart's made of lead
He'd rather file his feelings on the internet
She’s got the same old dress
Her mind's in a mess
She doesn't listen to a single word he says
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
This is your wake up call
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Before you lose it all
Lose it all

3. But we can turn it around now
Now we know just where we are
I wont let us run aground now
Not now we've come this far
We need to do something crazy
Like midnight walking in the rain
Cos our love has gotten lazy
But we can make it strong again

It's not a drop in the ocean
And we're not waves hitting the shore
Love's a headstrong emotion
And I love you evermore
