Ocean to Ocean Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Another time zone, we’re a little lonely, but not alone
Roll the windows down/ It’s all engine sounds and endless highway
Driving state to state, I learned geography this way
Dear everyone back home, and all of New York
I miss you so, and I really want you to know

[Hook]
You’re so far away from me
I keep looking for your face in everything
We drive all night to find the shore, so many miles more
Tonight we make a pocket of home
Under the stars, as we go ocean to ocean
We drive all night to find the coast, so many miles to go

[Verse 2]
This is the darkness we know so well
There are so many things that I want to tell you
There’s a part of me, a part of me in the Catskills
There’s a part of me that I left in the Hollywood Hills
Tonight is perfect, after the show
Get in the car with a pounding heart and turn up the radio

[Hook]

[Bridge]
All the skylines are unfamiliar
Though the desert stars are almost as brilliant
Only the Pacific, though it tastes a little different
Is big enough to feel like home for just a moment
Like home, like home for just a moment
Like home, like home
Like home, like home for just a moment
Like home, like home
[Hook]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
