Oceans - Lyrics - Hawthorne Heights

Hawthorne Heights is an American rock band from Dayton, Ohio, formed in 2001. Their lineup currently consists of JT Woodruff , Micah Carli , Matt Ridenour , Mark McMillon , and Chris Popadak as the band's touring session drummer following the June 2014 departure of original drummer Eron Bucciarelli. On November 24, 2007, rhythm guitarist and vocalist Casey Calvert died, leaving the band as a four-piece. The band, who were originally named A Day in the Life after the song by The Beatles, have released three studio albums on Victory Records since changing their name to Hawthorne Heights.

You live in letters sent with shaky hands and circumstances. I bet you never thought your life could turn so tragic. A never ending summer in the sand is not vacation. I swear I saw my life flash before my eyes, as the waves came crashing down. I saw reflections of your face up in the sky, as the shots fired before you heard a sound. What's it feel like to be alone? The one you love is across the ocean. You'll never know if he's coming home. The firefight dear, it isn't over. You spend your nights drinking alone, waiting for phone calls. I bet you never thought your life could seem so long. I'd walk the ocean floor so I could bring you home. Sometimes life really isn't fair. And maybe I wished you far, far from here. But all I ever wanted was for you to care. All I ever wanted was to meet you there.
