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 the thing 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 the thing 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 the thing 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
