I Crush Everything

Lyrics

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, 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 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
 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?
 In the light that filters down into my giant yellow eye
 I can see the sails unfolding, stretching wide 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
 ♪
 I lie below
 You float above
 In the pretty white ships that I am dreaming of
