Lyrics

[Verse 1]
O my heart
It's a fish out of water
O my heart
It's a fish on the rocks
And it bakes in the bad sun
[Verse 2]
O my heart
It's a rock in the gutter
O my heart
It's a rocking great boulder
And stuck in the gutter
[Verse 3]
And I throw
My heart back to the ocean
But it don't go far
It come back floating
[Verse 4]
And I watch it wash up
With the dead fish
But it ain't quite dead
It's just is lifeless
[Verse 5]
O my heart
It's a house in tornado
O my heart
It's a house in the sky
In the eye of tornado
[Verse 6]
O my heart
It's a roof in El Niño
O my heart
It's a roof made of straw
In the jaw of El Niño
[Verse 7]
And I pour my heart a new foundation
But it don't set hard
It just stays shaking
[Verse 8]
And I scratch my name
I scratch my name in
But it don't set hard
It gets mixed back in
[Verse 9]
O my heart
It's a fish out of water
O my heart
It's a rock in the gutter
[Verse 10]
O my heart
It's a black in a rainbow
O my heart
It's so damn cold
[Verse 11]
And I throw
My heart into the fire
'Cause I want to set my heart on fire
And I watch it try befriending embers
But the ice don't melt in mid-December
[Verse 12]
O my heart
It's a fish out of water
O my heart
It's a fish on the rocks
And it bakes in the bad sun
