lyrics

fish are dying
all along the coast
and as if you were one of them
who could breathe on land
you made a show of it
wanting to put an end to it
if you are what you love,
then i'm a fish

but my gills phased out
millions of years ago
i barely get by breathing air
but when you asked what i'd do
if i got caught in the current
i knew i'd always be there
swirling eternally
like some ancient tetrapod
or an angelic thing
meeting an aquatic god
if you are what you love,
then i'll be the oceans

but fish are still dying
in their murky homes
and i think about them
and i care for them
but when i see their ghosts
float to the surface now
i look on from the shoreline
'cause i can swim
but it's not who i am
if my body got caught
in the current now
i would just wash up on land
