lyrics

You’re trying to talk I’m trying to hear
Don’t worry, I’m listening dear,
You’ve been here so long
You’ve been here too long, yeah,

Me,
Even though, somebody’s crying bout all of the foods
that they could go and try right now,
Just try to love this place like oh my god, till its time to, to flyy—

But why this damage I’m just standing in tarasana,
Can’t sneak around, like this, is everybody, okay?
So many problems, we can’t figure them out,
we can’t, this sounds embarrassing,
Go, I’ll sit back down and cheer ya,

I feel amazing
I fly out of the water,
And I know it gets harder
I take after my father, no

why’d you come right home?
Were you right about to lose control? Yeah,

Mermaid man,
You fly out of the water,
and you know it gets harder
you take after your father, no

Please don’t ask me too much, I said,
I feel like I just wanna gather my touch, I said,
I found some patience in the mud on the floor,
Ground collapse and I can’t take it no more, (more)

No, and I don’t always want love, no,
It seems our castle is falling down,
The sound,

I live with every faux pas, I know now,
And you’ll marry some dumb dada who’s been asking his god, why?
"Why this rock don’t sing?"
And why’d you have to hold her breasts in your hands like cups of cold, water,
And you’ve been walking on coals, hotter,
Than you’ll ever know, my child, for real

For real, and you're testing my patience
And I feel so euphoric
And I know my heart's racing, for you,
Over you, and I find things so depressing, it's bad,
Learned how to say my goodbyes
but we just keep talking

I feel amazing,
I fly out of the water,
And I know it gets harder
I’ll look after my father, no

Why’d you act so impressed?
Why’d you call me like that?
Why’d you have to ask?
My child for real,
For real, cause I don’t need too much,
I said I’m out here on fire and I’m searching for trust, I said,

I’ll buy some sevens
Cause we’ve always had love,
But oh lah lah,
I don’t see it coming simple as that,
Exasperated, by these symbiotic lonely relationships
the limits in my eyes, obstructions always in place,
and I will always imply
that I just wanna go lay,
down and stay inside, and you can keep them away,

I said I’m just tryna trust, and you said you don’t have much
and now we’re flocking too fast
we flew faster than love, no,
What is faster than me?
And I can’t decide
and you can’t, hardly breathe
and we stay inside
I feel like I’m just tryna bide some more time, you feelin that?
Bottle some air so I can breathe it inside, you feelin that?
