Queens of the Stone Age — I Sat by the Ocean

[Verse 1] I sat by the ocean And drank a potion, baby, to erase you Face down in the boulevard Yet, I couldn't face you There ain't no use in crying It doesn't change anything So, baby, what good does it do? Your friends, they all sympathize Maybe I don’t need them to [Chorus] Imagined I'd be your one and only Instead, I'm the lonely one You, me and a lie Silence is closer, we’re passing ships in the night [Verse 2] There's nowhere to run away Said, "Boy, if you want love You'll have to go and find it with someone new Do you know who you really are Are you sure it's really you?" Lies are a funny thing They slip through your fingertips Because they never happened to you Time wounds all the heals as we fade out of view [Chorus] Imagined I'd be your one and only Instead I'm the lonely one You, me and a lie Silence is closer, we’re passing ships in the night You, me and a lie Silence is closer, we’re passing ships in the night Into the light, left with nowhere to hide [Outro] Closer and closer, we’re crashing ships in the night
