|
I lie below, you float above |
|
In the pretty white ships that I've been dreaming of |
|
And I'd like to swim beside you |
|
Getting dizzy in your wake |
|
Getting close enough to touch you |
|
Getting brave enough to take you into my arms |
|
And bring you down to be with me |
|
But I can't do that thing anymore |
|
I can't be anything I was before |
|
Maybe I am better off alone |
|
Because I crush everything |
|
And I crush everything |
|
And I crush everything |
|
My body's strong, but my will is weak |
|
I got pretty nice arms, but I hate my beak |
|
And the dolphins are all phonies |
|
They seem nice enough at first |
|
They pretend to be your friends |
|
Until they see you at your worst and then they leave you |
|
Without a word they swim away |
|
So I can't do that thing anymore |
|
I can't be anything I was before |
|
Maybe I am better off alone |
|
Because I crush everything |
|
And I crush everything |
|
And I crush everything |
|
And everything I want I take |
|
And everything I love I break |
|
And every night I lie awake |
|
Did the stars come out? Did the world spin round? |
|
Does it matter that much when you're ten miles down? |
|
And in the light that filters down |
|
Into my giant yellow eye |
|
I can see the sails unfolding |
|
Stretching white against the sky and I forgive them |
|
I forgive and I let go |
|
Cause I can't do that thing anymore |
|
I can't be anything I was before |
|
Maybe I am better off alone |
|
Because I crush everything |
|
And I crush everything |
|
And I crush everything |
|
And I crush everything |
|
And I crush everything |
|
And I crush everything |
|
I lie below, you float above |
|
In the pretty white ships that I am dreaming of |
