Jonathan Coulton - I Crush Everything lyrics

rate me

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
