Oil and Water

Incubus · Monuments & Melodies [2009]

You and I are like oil and water

And we've been trying, trying, trying

Ohhhhh, to mix it up



We've been dancing on a volcano

And we've been crying, crying, crying

Over blackened souls



Babe, this wouldn't be the first time

It will not be the last time

There is no parasol that could shelter this weather



I've been smiling with anchors on my shoulders

But I've been dying, dying, dying

Ohhh, ohhh, oh to let them go



Babe, this wouldn't be the first time

It will not be the last time

There is no parasol that could shelter this weather



Babe, this wouldn't be the first time

It will not be the last time

We were trying to believe everything would get better



We've been lying to each other

Hey babe

Let's just call it, call it, call it

Ohhhhhh, what it is

Oil and water

Oil and water

Oil and water
