Navigating the complexities of a long-distance relationship, Lizzy McAlpine captures the emotional turmoil of breaking up over the phone. The lyrics convey a sense of confusion and detachment as the narrator struggles to find meaning in their relationship. Despite needing space, physical distance only amplifies feelings of disconnection and misunderstanding. The repeated refrain about making an "over-the-ocean call" underscores the difficulty and sorrow of ending a relationship from afar. The narrator's internal conflict is evident as they grapple with breaking someone's heart while feeling their own heartbreak in return. Ultimately, the song portrays the painful reality that sometimes separation is necessary, even when it hurts both parties involved.
Over-the-Ocean Call
Lyrics
Does this make sense to you?
Cause it doesn't make sense to me
Does this have weight for you?
Cause it doesn't have weight for me
And I think my mind is far away
Sort of strange, this is
But I think I'll call you anyway
Call collect, cause baby this is
An over the ocean call
And I thought I could make it short
But my brain's all out of sorts
I can't hide it
I'm staring at my wall
And I thought that I wouldn't cry
But breaking your heart breaks mine
I can't hide it
An over the ocean call
Is how I told him
This isn't working anymore
I needed space from you
But this doesn't look like space to me
You hate the things I do
And sometimes you hate me
But I think my mind is far away
Sort of strange, this is
But I think I'll call you anyway
Call collect, cause baby this is
An over the ocean call
And I thought I could make it short
But my brain's all out of sorts
I can't hide it
I'm staring at my wall
And I thought that I wouldn't cry
But breaking your heart breaks mine
I can't hide it
An over the ocean call
Is how I told him
This isn't working anymore
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
I'll call from over the ocean
This time, this time, this time
I'll break your heart through the phone, I
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
I'll call from over the ocean
This time, this time, this time
I'll break your heart through the phone
With an over the ocean call
And I thought I could make it short
But my brain's all out of sorts
I'm staring at my wall
And I thought that I wouldn't cry
But breaking your heart breaks mine
An over the ocean call
Is how I told him
This isn't working anymore
