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
