Verse 1
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
Chorus 1
But I can't do that thing anymore
I can't be the thing I was before
Maybe I am better off alone
Because I crush everything and I crush everything
and I crush everything
Intro riff
Verse 2
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
But they pretend to be your friend
Until they see you at your worst and then they leave you
Without a word they swim away
Chorus 2
So I can't do that thing anymore
I can't be the thing I was before
Maybe I am better off alone
Because I crush everything and I crush everything
and I crush everything
Bridge
And every thing I want I take
And every thing I love I break
And every night I lie awake
Intro riff
Verse 3
Did the stars come out? Did the world spin round?
Does it matter that much when you're ten miles down?
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
Chorus 3
Cause I can't do that thing anymore
I can't be the thing I was before
Maybe I am better off alone
Because I crush everything and I crush everything
and I crush everything
Intro riff
Outro
I lie below, you float above
In the pretty white ships that I am dreaming of
