The Pacific

I like it better when I'm alone

But not like this

I like it when it's a choice

And not a prior commitment

'Cause all the time and the distance

Has got me feeling like a kid

And I wanna take the next flight home

I'll be back for the summer

When my mama moved all my things

To the room by the front door, oh-oh

'Cause it was smaller and empty

I'll be back for the summer

New number and a couple other friends

That I don't talk to anymore

'Cause the talk is smaller and empty

And I'm feeling like I'm sleeping

In the middle of the ocean

It's the closest I can be

To you and them and me

'Cause to be everywhere is nowhere

And I'm caught there in between

Oh, it's the closest I can be

Simultaneously

How many of us in the Pacific?

How many lovers drowned in their ambition?

'Cause baby, it felt like a minute

And I know change is slow

But all my friends are different now

How long have I been gone?

I left you stateside, call you after midnight

You can make me feel right, feel right, oh-oh

Yeah, when the seas get rough

I dream of a timeline when I got my money right

And we don't have to worry 'bout a long-haul flight, alright

Yeah, when the times get tough

And I'm feeling like I'm sleeping

In the middle of the ocean

It's the closest I can be

To you and them and me

'Cause to be everywhere is nowhere

And I'm caught there in between

Oh, it's the closest I can be

Simultaneously

I'm homesick

But I don't know, I don't know where home is

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

How many of us are in the Pacific?

How many nights will I lie under a different sky

Wishing you were under mine?

How many souls are lost to the Pacific?

How many sleepless nights does it elicit?

I'm just trying to keep my head up, up above

Above the Pacific, above the Pacific, above

I'm homesick

But I don't know, I don't know where home is

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
