B A7 E Em
I was waiting by the ocean
B A7 E Em B A7 E Em
Staring endlessly, into this void of separation

Guess somethings can't just stay
β« Chorus:
E Em
But what if you and I had passed us by?

How different our lives would be?

There's a silver lining between
E Em
I'm just happy that I once held you close
B A7 E Em
Held you close to me (Held you close to me)

It's hard to say that I'll be fine on my own

I just can't help but miss those days

And I hope you know that

If times could change (Times could change)

Versed ways but it's time well spent
F C#m F#m
So love and peace in this life 'til the end
