FISHBOWL

you told me not to go outside
stuck a plastic crucifix in the sand
you told me not to go outside
then you told me not to bother looking through the glass
but i’m not blind

don’t blame yourself
you tried your best to cover up my eyes and ears
don’t blame yourself
there was nothing you could do to keep me here

you warned me not to go outside
held my fin so i couldn’t swim away
never suggested or implied what you thought was right
i kept it in because i never did get to say
that i’m not buying it

don’t blame yourself
it’s not like you didn’t sell it hard enough
don’t blame yourself
it’s not like you didn’t make me scared enough

i’m afraid but i need to go need to go
even if it means i’ll never make it back home
i’m alone but i need to know need to know
whether i can survive outside my fish bowl

you told me not to go out tonight
but i can’t help it i can’t sleep until i get to see 
what the world looks like from the other side
i can't believe it could be skewed as my current view
not me
no i'm not buying this

don’t blame yourself
it’s not like you didn’t sell it hard enough
don’t blame yourself
it’s not like you didn’t make me scared enough

i’m afraid but i need to go need to go
even if it means i’ll never make it back home
i’m alone but i need to know need to know
whether i can survive outside my fish bowl

LYRICS

There’s a fault in the earth
That wasn’t there when I met you
But something broke in my world
I can’t repair until I can get you
To take off your glasses and lay down
Lay down
To take off your glasses and lay down
Lay down

There's a star in your sky
That only shines to guide your time
But if you can spare some to share your answer
Could it be fair if I were to ask you
To forget about the numbers and call back
Call back
Forget about the numbers and call back
Call back

You haven’t seen still the half of what’s in me
And I know you haven’t been imagining what we could be
And I haven’t seen still a quarter of what’s in you
But you know I’ve always been imagining what we could do

And you could too if you take off your glasses and lay down
Lay down
You could if you take off your glasses and lay down
Lay down

There was a fire in my house
A quake and a drought brought to burn it down
But somebody spoke out into the smoke and
I woke up choking and since I’ve found

That when I forget about the numbers I breathe again
I can breathe again
When I forget about the numbers I breathe again
I can breathe again

You haven’t seen still the half of what’s in me
And I know you haven’t been imagining what we could be
And I haven’t seen still a quarter of what’s in you
But you know I’ve always been imagining what we could do

And you could too if you take off your glasses and lay down
Lay down
You could too if you take off your glasses and lay down
Lay down
You could if you take off your glasses and lay down
Lay down
You could if you take off your glasses and lay down
Lay down
Lay down

LYRICS

We both saw that shadow here
Slipping down the kitchen sink
Late night meds revive the chill
I feel it coming back for me

You and me, you and me, you and me, you and me
You and me, you and me, you and me

Ants revealed a leaking roof
And chocolate on the kitchen floor
We don't need faith we've got proof
Creeping down the cupboard for you

You and me, you and me, you and me, you and me
You and me, you and me, you and me

Do you believe in magic mama?
Do you believe in me?
Do you believe in magic mama?
‘Cause I believe in you

Late night meds wore off by noon
I found you waking in your chair
Shadows in the laundry room
We can hang them anywhere

You and me, you and me, you and me, you and me
You and me, you and me, you and me

Do you believe in magic mama?
Do you believe in me?
Do you believe in magic mama?
‘Cause I believe in you

Magic Mama

LYRICS:

I saw that you read my message
My train would arrive at half past eight
It was getting heavy to hope and pretend that
To pick me up would be out of your way

But I never caved until it was too late
I never caved until it was too late 
I never caved until it was too late 
I never caved until it was too late 

You didn’t have to pick up cause you know me
And I shouldn’t even have called but I did
You didn’t have to pick up cause you know me
And I shouldn’t even have called but I did
Cause I know you
And I had to
Cause I know you
And I had to
I just had to, yeah

So I waited at Union Station
I waited for hours to hear you say
That there was no way that you could make it
And there was no sense in hanging around

But I never caved until it was too late
I never caved until it was too late



You didn’t have to pick up cause you know me
And I shouldn’t even have called but I did
You didn’t have to pick up cause you know me
And I shouldn’t even have called but I did 
Cause I know you
And I had to
Cause I know you
And I had to
I just had to, yeah

We can stop pretending now
We can stop I’m ready when you are
We can stop pretending now
We can stop I’m ready whenever

You didn’t have to pick up cause you know me
And I shouldn’t even have called but I did
You didn’t have to pick up cause you know me
And I shouldn’t even have called but I did 
Cause I know you
And I had to
Cause I know you
And I had to
I just had to
Cause I know you
And I had to
Cause I know you
And I had to
I just had to, yeah
