fish tank Lyrics

The alarm goes off, jolting us with a start

Leaving this bubble is the worst part

Heavy thuds on the steps till my legs start to work

Nonsense mumbles and stumbles and smirks

Frozen waffles and cups of tea

A head on a shoulder, a hand on a knee

Morning stretches in morning glow

The dog looking at us in the window

And the fish in the tank glimmer and glide

Soaring together, they climb and sweep

Their colors sparkle in the light

They start in the shallow and move so deep

Some party water to kick off the night

A midnight snack, turn off the light

Fix the projector, wait for the bus

My temperature's dropping

More blankets on us

A song in the morning, to set the tone

A song in the evening, we're never alone

A song on your mind, on the tip of my tongue

We're making it up and singing along

And the fish in the tank glimmer and glide

Soaring together, they climb and sweep

Their colors sparkle in the light

They start in the shallow and move so deep

I love to watch them

I love to watch you

They orbit each other

They know what to do

I love to watch them

I love to watch you

They orbit each other

They know what to do

And the fish in the tank glimmer and glide

Soaring together, they climb and sweep

Their colors sparkle in the light

They start in the shallow and move so deep

The fish in the tank glimmer and glide

Soaring together, they climb and sweep

Their colors sparkle in the light

They start in the shallow and move so deep
