The Pacific - Thomston

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

But I’ll be back for the summer

Where my Momma moved all my things

To the room by the front door

'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

It’s the closest I can be simultaneously

How many of us are 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)

When the seas get rough

We’ll dream of a timeline

When I got my money right

And we don’t have to worry 'bout

A long haul flight (alright)

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

It’s the closest I can be simultaneously

(I'm homesick but I don’t know

I don’t know where home is)

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 trynna keep my head up, up above

Above The Pacific

(I'm homesick but I don’t know where home is)
