Waterbed by Tiny Moving Parts Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been holding my breath for way too long
It seems like both my lungs are strong enough
To hold all this endless air
I don't belong, I don't belong
My head's a ticking clock
All I have to ask is someone please alarm my body
My home is non-existent
My heart's buried in the ocean
And I don't need any anchors taking me away
My God, I swear I'm growing fins, growing fins
I better keep my hopes up
But what exactly do I know?
What's exactly, exactly?
[Verse 2]
Well, the sun still sets up in the sky
Looking down on us
Watching me tear apart these boundaries
The sharks will swallow me up
In the glorious blue sea
I'll relax with a detailed investment I bought from my brain
With the loose change I found in my pockets
I have spent too long waiting
How to take risks and promise
From a wishlist that I created
Well, someday you will open up your eyes
And understand what's real
[Verse 3]
People in this world scare me
That's why I belong underwater
With fish and whales and dolphins
So finally that I'll feel
Perfectly content with myself
My lonely sad self
[Bridge]
The water races down my throat
My bones start to shake
To the rhythm of opening up
To my life starting over
In this bedroom
I'm sorry, I'm leaving
This is
A portrait worth painting
I've been holding my breath for way too long
It seems like both my lungs are strong enough
To hold all this endless air
I don't belong, I don't belong
My head's a ticking clock
All I have to ask is someone please alarm my body
My home is non-existent
My heart's buried in the ocean
And I don't need any anchors taking me away
My God, I swear I'm growing fins, growing fins
I better keep my hopes up
But what exactly do I know?
What's exactly, exactly?
[Verse 2]
Well, the sun still sets up in the sky
Looking down on us
Watching me tear apart these boundaries
The sharks will swallow me up
In the glorious blue sea
I'll relax with a detailed investment I bought from my brain
With the loose change I found in my pockets
I have spent too long waiting
How to take risks and promise
From a wishlist that I created
Well, someday you will open up your eyes
And understand what's real
[Verse 3]
People in this world scare me
That's why I belong underwater
With fish and whales and dolphins
So finally that I'll feel
Perfectly content with myself
My lonely sad self
[Bridge]
The water races down my throat
My bones start to shake
To the rhythm of opening up
To my life starting over
In this bedroom
I'm sorry, I'm leaving
This is
A portrait worth painting
